Product Details

Description

Fits most all Singer Featherweight 221 models as well as the 222 hook assemblies... For the common hook assembly style.

The most common cause for a seized machine is thread caught and often hidden behind the bobbin case base.  Do not force the machine or severe, costly damage will occur to the hook assembly.  This tool is designed to be used with universal application on Singer 221, 222 and Singer 301 vintage hook assemblies.  The new Thread Jam Removal Tool makes disentangling a thread jam very easy, and it can all be done without taking the hook assembly apart!  

Instructions are as follows:

  1. Remove the needle throat plate.

  2. Place a towel between the faceplate and bed extension; stand the machine on its handwheel end.

  3. Insert the Thread Jam Removal Tool over the bobbin case base post, ensuring that it is flush against the base.

  4. While holding the handwheel, turn the tool clockwise until there is no resistance.  

  5. Inspect the bobbin case base for any thread that may have been expunged - it is often a very small piece. 

  6. Reinstall the needle throat plate, making sure the positioning finger is in the gap on the underside of the throat plate.  


The early Featherweights from 1933 and 1934 had a different hook assembly, and they require a different Thread Jam Removal Tool.  Click here for the Early Oval Thread Jam Tool. 

Hook Assembly is not included, but is only shown for demonstration and comparison.  It may be purchased separately here.

NOTE:  Because this is a tool to be used, the Thread Jam Tool is not returnable.

Great tool

I followed the directions on the video, but after almost a week of trying the oil without anything becoming noticeable, I ordered the jam tool. It arrived quickly and my machine is working like a charm now. Thank you for this wonderful tool.

Works like magic!

The Thread Jam Removal Tool is amazing. Instead of worrying about taking the whole bobbin holder apart, just wiggling the Thread Removal Tool gently back and forth loosened and removed any thread bits caught in the mechanism.
Most important! I learned NEVER to turn the hand wheel backwards, which can cause thread jams in the first place!
