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:
Remove the needle throat plate.
Place a towel between the faceplate and bed extension; stand the machine on its handwheel end.
Insert the Thread Jam Removal Tool over the bobbin case base post, ensuring that it is flush against the base.
While holding the handwheel, turn the tool clockwise until there is no resistance.
Inspect the bobbin case base for any thread that may have been expunged - it is often a very small piece.
Reinstall the needle throat plate, making sure the positioning finger is in the gap on the underside of the throat plate.

Easy to use. Amazing that a tiny bit of thread can lock up your machine. More amazing still is the almost instant fix that this well designed tool provides. Thank you Featherweight Shop for your ingenuity and excellent tutorials.

This works like a charm! Saved me from taking apart the bobbin case and or a service call. This is a must have tool for featherweight owner.

Unjamming tool
I can't give a full review because I haven't used it yet, but it does seem to be extremely well made.

Wow, great tool!
Even though I am an experienced sewer on Featherweights, I managed to get a thread jam. This tool works and is easy to use for even an non-mechanical mind!

Indispensable Tool
Though I haven't needed this tool yet, I know it's nearly inevitable that I will have a thread jam at the bobbin. This tool is the only one I know of to break the thread jam without breaking any parts.
