**************************
Being one of the first-run Featherweights commissioned in the factory on October 3, 1933 - specifically, this machine has several unique/distinctive characteristics. Singer made several slight cosmetic changes throughout the production of the model 221 but this is generally what they looked like in the beginning. Some of the distinctives of a Featherweight produced this early are the bed-stop located on the back of the machine and the back arm decal. These and other features like the school bell bobbin winder tension unit, the split base under the terminal and the non-swinging gib hookevolved over the next couple of years until the more common characteristics were developed.
This Featherweight first arrived to us in very poor condition, and because it is such an early Featherweight, we made the decision to restore it back to gloss black. The choice to restore a sought-after machine like this one in black greatly increased its value and appeal, as the traditional look has been maintained. Each one of our restored and repainted Featherweights receives hours of personal care in its disassembly, painting process, reassembly, stitch sampling and overall preparation for each and every customer.
Additional Quilting Attachments can be purchased, and if you need any Fashion Aids for apparel or ornamental sewing (e.g., Buttonholer, Blind Stitcher, etc...), we will prepare samples for those as well should you decide to purchase them separately. TheOriginal Bobbin Caseis included, adhering to originality all these years later. The machine has been serviced and calibrated for quilter’s cotton, so tension is already properly set; however, tension can easily be adjusted depending on fabric needs.
The machine is fitted with an original scrolled faceplate and the replica case includes the side tray for holding the attachments.
This will be a distinguished machine to add to any Featherweight collection.
Free Shipping in the USA through UPS Ground is provided. The machine will be thoroughly andcarefully packed ~ guaranteed to arrive safe and sound.
