Singer Featherweight 222K Sewing Machine EK6285** ORIGINAL CARDBOARD BOX Included

This Singer Featherweight 222K with its original cardboard box is a stunning and extremely rare piece of Featherweight history, and it is hard to fathom that it has survived so well for 60 years.  The manual, motor markings, and box stamps would suggest that this Featherweight was one sold in France.  Click here to read more about Featherweights in France.

Please take note of the Feed Dog Lowering Lever indicated by SEW & DARN.  This enables free-motion embroidery & darning.  You can go from ‘SEW’ing to ‘DARN’ing just by pulling on the lever and then lowering it down to the Darn position.  This will lower your feed dogs (teeth-like mechanism) enabling Free-Motion work.

Bed extension removed reveals the tiniest little free-arm - perfect for tight seams and hard-to-reach places.  (For example, on her personal 222, April was able to repair a little loop on her daughter’s mary jane leather shoe - all because the little free-arm enabled her to stitch inside and at the right angle.) 

All machines go through an electrical safety inspection - of vital importance when making the conversion upgrade, and most importantly, to have the assurance that your sewing machine is safe to "today's" electrical standards.  All you have to do is plug it in and begin sewing!

The Featherweight 222 / 222K’s that we sell are always USA and CANADA (North American) electrically compatible!  That is, they run on 110 voltage/current.  You will not need to purchase a separate voltage converter
