FEATHERWEIGHT CASE PACK THREAD COLOR INFORMATION

Wondering if you've got the right badge for your FW case cover?

This is indeed the same badge as appears on many 221 machines, and it's the one used on several of the FW Cases shown in the pictures on the site.

I have named this design "301A",  because it also appears on many 301 machines, including all four in my collection, and to avoid confusion with my other 221 badge designs.

Designs included in the Featherweight Case Pack, 3pc:

Sized to coordinate with the border just below.

The 3-Piece FW Case Pack contains the three designs shown in the stitched sample:

FW Corner Fancy, 4"

FW Border Fancy, 2pc, 4"

Vintage Badge 301A, 4" - NO SUBSTITUTIONS

Note: price is for the embroidery designs, not a finished case cover.

This is the badge that comes with the Case Pack. If you would like to order this badge alone, or other vintage sewing badges, you can do so using the order forms on the Vintage Sewing Badge page. Note that the badges are not available in 3" size.

The FW Case Pack 5-pc set includes everything in the 3-pc pack, plus these additional designs:

Need a pattern or instructions for a FW Case Cover or Tote?

Please note that I have no affiliation with any of the folks mentioned in these links, but am just posting them for information purposes as a service to my readers.  I have listed a sampling of very good free ones here, as well as a few for purchase.

I have not made any of these case covers or totes myself, and I have no pattern of my own.

1. Vanessa, the Crafty Gemini, has some very clear video instructions to make a box-shaped cover for your sewing machine or case. The method would work very well for a FW slipcover, and her tutorials are superb.

2. Another a clear step-by-step tutorial for a cover comes from Professor Pincushion, Tova. Follow her instructions to make a cover for your Featherweight case.

3. Debbie Shore has posted yet another video tutorial, with step-by-step instructions to make a box-shaped machine cover that can be adapted to fit your Featherweight.

4. You could also try this Featherweight tote from Laura at Sew Very Easy -- she walks you through step-by-step with very clear explanations. Or follow her guidelines to make a machine cover.

5. If you need a pattern for a machine slipcover, you can download this free one from Robert Kaufman fabrics.

6. Finally, you can find complete pattern and instructions for a FW 221 case cover here, with clear pictures of each step.

If you watch or read enough of these, you'll get a very good sense of the procedure and will be able to measure and make a slipcover that fits your Featherweight case.


If you like the idea of a tote instead, try these:

1. Sylvia offers instructions for making your own tote on her blog, with clear photos to follow. She used the "Tall" bed decal design -- find it on the decals page.

2. I also really like Laura's step-by-step tutorial on how to measure and create your own zippered tote -- like all her tutorials, it's really ingenious and her instructions are very clear.

3. If you would prefer to purchase an actual pattern, you can find one from the Featherweight Shop.

4. I also recently came across these patterns for Featherweight case liner and tote bag on the Archaic Arcane website; they are modestly priced and come with detailed pictorial instructions.

5. Donna B's Blog, to which I used to have a link, is now unfortunatelydefunct, but Donna has offered instructions on how to create a custom tote for your Featherweight case based on measurements you take from your own machine. She promised to send me the information, but so far I haven't received it. I'll be delighted to link to the plans as soon as she sends along the information.
