Featherweight
The light works but the motor does not run. I will take it to my local sewing repair shop. I hope it can be repaired. I have been wanting a featherweight machine for many years. The inside of the case was moldy. I wiped it down and placed a scented dryer sheet in the lid. I hope the smell goes away. I was pleased the the number of accessories included.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

new is good
My feather weight sewing machine needed a new home. Her old one was past restoration and could only be carried with a firm hand underneath to hold the bottom in. This case is just like the original and I don't have to worry about it falling apartVerified purchase: Yes
