Stuck Stop Motion Knob & Handwheel
Today we are addressing a Stop Motion Knob that will not turn on your Singer Featherweight 221 or 222. Loosening the Stop Motion Knob is necessary to wind a bobbin, but being able to tighten it so that regular sewing can resume is just as important.
There are two causes that prevent the Stop Motion Knob from functioning properly.
- Handwheel washer is positioned incorrectly.
- Stop-Motion Knob has been overtightened.

- Handwheel
- Channel-Lock Pliers (8-inches long or longer will be fine)
- Small Cloth or Towel
- OPTIONAL HANDY TOOL: Handwheel Collar Remover
If the needle still bobs up and down when winding a bobbin, then click here for the tutorial video on how to remedy that common annoyance.
