Book, Singer Featherweight 221 Maintenance & Service Handbook

Confidence in Every Oil Drop—Your Complete Featherweight Care Guide

Your Featherweight has been stitching beautiful quilts for decades. With the right care, she'll keep going for decades more.

But here's the thing: keeping a vintage machine running smoothly can feel intimidating. Where do you oil? How tight should the belt be? What's that clicking sound?

This handbook answers all of it.

84 waterproof, oil-resistant pages walk you through everything—a complete service guide for your Singer 221, whether it's an original black, tan, or white Featherweight. Step-by-step photo tutorials with clear instructions cover basic maintenance, troubleshooting, and more intensive repairs.

QR codes throughout link directly to video tutorials, research information, and recommended tools and supplies. Need help with advanced mechanical repair beyond routine maintenance? There's a QR code for that too.

What You'll Be Able to Do

• Confidently maintain your machine with clear, photo-guided instructions
• Troubleshoot problems yourself instead of wondering what went wrong
• Keep your hands on the pages without worrying about oil stains or water damage
• Access video tutorials and resources instantly by scanning QR codes right from the page
• Work comfortably with the flip-and-stand design that props open while you work

Designed for Real Maintenance

The handbook stands upright and flips front-to-back (pages 1-42), then turns around for the remaining pages (43-83). Wipe the plasticized pages clean as you go—because real maintenance gets messy.

Note: The waterproof pages are plasticized, so avoid leaving the book in hot vehicles or near heat sources.
