How to Adjust Tension on an Early Singer Featherweight Model

maintenance

Learn how to easily and properly adjust the upper tension as well as completely disassemble and reassemble the tension unit on an early non-numbered old style tension unit.  This style is from the very early days of the Singer Featherweight 221.

Christian will walk you through each step showing you how to align all the parts, the spring, the take-up spring, releasing pin, disks, tension stud, etc.

You will need the Mid-Length Maintenance Wera Screwdriver for this task.
