Published primarily for Teachers of Home Economics, these are few and far between and becoming harder and harder to find as more and more Featherweight collectors see the value in owning such a quality book with a wealth of information.
Copyright 1948, and while certainly not specific to the Singer Featherweight 221, it is one of the Teacher's Textbook publications that includes information about the portable machine (see photos). Primarily, this is one of the most excellent resources for Singer Attachment collectors as it references many, many Singer Sewing Machine Attachments - including several of the really scarce attachments!
Nevertheless, it is still one of the most sought-after books for Featherweight owners' collection. Why? Because this edition was published well after the Singer 221 Featherweights were in production, therefore, illustrations are given which reference the actual Featherweight 221 and Case. This book provides instructions and information for attachments with tips and ideas. The Machine Sewing Book is referenced on Featherweight Fanatics as the best must-have book.
