Featherweight Tested… Fanatic Approved! This little attachment is just too darling for words.
This attachment is quick and easy to learn – with a simple adjustment on the back of the unit, you can create a wide zig zag or narrow zig zag. Also, by adjusting the stitch length on your machine, you can have a long stitch or short, satin stitch. You can zigzag over cord, too! It still takes a bit of practice because the attachment is moving the fabric back and forth as opposed to the needle moving back and forth on new machines, today. But, once you get the knack for how it operates you will learn how to use your fingers to guide the fabric in slowly and methodically for straight lines.
Small and compact it is easily stored in your Featherweight Sewing Machine Case and quickly attached with your thumb screw.
At a local Christmas Bazaar I demonstrated the easy use of this attachment for even a simple task of finishing seams. You will notice in one of the photographs above I finished the seams on a corduroy skirt for my daughter while at that Bazaar – no more seams to unravel and fray.
You will also notice a cupcake applique – that, too, was completed using the Adjustable Zigzagger Attachment on my Featherweight 222. I have found that the Attachment ZigZaggers are best suited for light applique’ work – and are easiest to maneuver/guide for short, satin-type stitching. The longer zigzag stitches are possible, but take much more practice – I have used mine in a pinch when I didn’t have my serger accessible and I needed to finish (zigzag) an inside seam.
For use on all Singer Lock-Stitch low shank Sewing Machines (i.e. 15, 66, 99, 185, 192 (Spartan), 201 and, of course, the Featherweight 221 or 222). You will have much enjoyment giving your straight stitch machine versatility.
You will receive the ZigZag Attachment, Original Box & Original OR Reproduction Instruction Manual as well as a ‘made-for-you’ sample – assuring you of a quality, working attachment.
