Product Details

Description

Fits most all Singer Featherweight 221 models as well as the 222 hook assemblies... For the common hook assembly style.

The most common cause for a seized machine is thread caught and often hidden behind the bobbin case base.  Do not force the machine or severe, costly damage will occur to the hook assembly.  This tool is designed to be used with universal application on Singer 221, 222 and Singer 301 vintage hook assemblies.  The new Thread Jam Removal Tool makes disentangling a thread jam very easy, and it can all be done without taking the hook assembly apart!  

Instructions are as follows:

  1. Remove the needle throat plate.

  2. Place a towel between the faceplate and bed extension; stand the machine on its handwheel end.

  3. Insert the Thread Jam Removal Tool over the bobbin case base post, ensuring that it is flush against the base.

  4. While holding the handwheel, turn the tool clockwise until there is no resistance.  

  5. Inspect the bobbin case base for any thread that may have been expunged - it is often a very small piece. 

  6. Reinstall the needle throat plate, making sure the positioning finger is in the gap on the underside of the throat plate.  


The early Featherweights from 1933 and 1934 had a different hook assembly, and they require a different Thread Jam Removal Tool.  Click here for the Early Oval Thread Jam Tool. 

Hook Assembly is not included, but is only shown for demonstration and comparison.  It may be purchased separately here.

NOTE:  Because this is a tool to be used, the Thread Jam Tool is not returnable.

Great Tool

If you're debating whether to buy this or not, stop...just buy it! It took less than a minute to clear a thread jam I had been working on for three days. I would have had to pay more than this for the local repairman to fix my machine, but now I'm prepared for the next one. (I have a bad habit of turning the fly wheel backwards.) TFS packaging and shipping were excellent as always.

Quick fix

The tool allowed ME to fix the jam. My poor husband did not have to spend a hold-your-breath hour fixing it "the other way." Buy yourself one and take it to retreats....

Thread jam tooll

Easy to use. Amazing that a tiny bit of thread can lock up your machine. More amazing still is the almost instant fix that this well designed tool provides. Thank you Featherweight Shop for your ingenuity and excellent tutorials.
