Bona Fide Custom-Made Featherweight Hand Crank
*Machine not included
While a sewing machine hand crank was never an original accessory for the Singer Featherweight, these newly crafted hand cranks are meticulously patterned for function and design after those that Singer originally made for their other antique sewing machine models (e.g. 66, 99, 201, etc). These custom-designed hand cranks are geared to provide three stitches per smooth and ergonomic rotation, offering you the freedom to sew without electricity. That makes these the only bona fide hand cranks available for the Singer Featherweight! Take your quilt piecing anywhere — camping, boating and every place in between. That is pretty exciting! Follow along to the video tutorial steps below to learn all about it!
