Wow ... sounds like a treasure .. and may be a Featherweight, which quilters crave for their perfect straight stitching. They have model #s ... i.e., 201s, 221s in great condition are VERY sought after and valuable.

Did you check your FR mail. It’s Model 221 in perfect condition. Call Jordie anytime. Maybe you can find a you-tube for her to get started. I’m pretty good, once my memory kicks-in...LOL. I used to make dresses etc from patterns and I made dresses for my daughter. Did so good, that she loved one dress so much, I had to fight with her to take it off to wash it. Yes, she was only 3 years old.
