Stitcher’s Suitcase
The Stitcher’s Suitcase is ByAnnie’s travel bag, sized to carry your Featherweight 221 or 222 and everything that goes with it. It is 11" tall, 17" wide, and 9½" deep, with handles, a shoulder strap, and a firm base that keeps her sitting upright.
Feathered Friends
Feathered Friends is the companion set of organizers: three zippered bags, a bed sleeve, and a vinyl pad. All sized to fit inside the suitcase alongside your Featherweight.
Foot Controller
A 6"×9" zippered pouch for your foot controller and its cord.
Notions
Keep track of your notions in this adorable 3½" cube.
Fabric
Stash your fabric in this roomy 10"-wide zippered organizer.
Bed Sleeve & Thread Catcher
Protects her fold-up bed while you travel, then converts into a thread catcher while you sew.
Vinyl Pad
An 8"×15" vinyl-topped work surface that travels with you!
