Glenda, a Featherweight will not fit in any treadle cabinet without some major adjustments to the cabinet. They are much smaller and have a bed that flips up for sewing. I have an EZI Sew table and they make an insert that will fit the Featherweights. I would find an old treadle and use the cabinet for show, even if I couldn't use the machine. Just a thought.
