Singer Featherweight 222K Sewing Machine, RED “S” ES357*** The Singer Featherweight Shop

This Singer Featherweight 222K is in beautiful condition!  Completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned and sampled – rest assured, this Featherweight 222 will be ready to sew right out of the case. This machine is fitted with its original 220-volt motor that has been rewound to work at 110 voltage, so you can plug it in and begin sewing.

ES357*** indicates an original production commission date of January 31st, 1961 and we give this beautiful machine a Grade 8.  Be sure to click on any image above to view the finish of this Singer Featherweight machine.  There are just a couple faint pin scratches and minor scuffs.  

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.  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 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 222K’s that The Featherweight Shop offers 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

Are you a Quilter?  Additional Quilting Attachments can be purchased, and if you need any Fashion Aids for apparel or ornamental sewing (i.e. Buttonholer, Blind Stitcher, etc…), we will prepare samples for those as well should you decide to purchase them separately.

You can also rest knowing that the Original Bobbin Case is most definitely included, assuring you of an original quality stitch all these years later.  It is a delightful thought to think about some of the possible things that were lovingly sewn on this machine in its lifetime.  What will you add to its sewing repertoire – quilts? Apparel?  Whatever you sew, I’m sure your new Featherweight machine will be well-loved for many, many more years of sewing life.

The machine has been serviced and calibrated for quilter’s cotton, so you won’t have to worry about tension when you receive your machine, but having a numbered tension dial will make it easier to set it back should you need to adjust it for any reason.

You will notice that this machine is fitted with a striated faceplate and the original case includes the tray for holding the box of attachments, manual, etc..
