We specialize in Singer Featherweights with a particular interest in the hard to find 222K Featherweights.
We offer for sale top quality 222K and 221 Featherweights as well as their attachments and accessories.
The Singer 222K Featherweight is in excellent cosmetic condition (as can be seen in the photographs) as well as in good operating condition.
222K Featherweights have the ability to easily lower and raise the feed dog using the sew/darn lever.
There are no missing or broken parts, no oily, brown cigarette smoke residue or other grunge to try to remove, no expensive repairs to be done, no surprises and no frustration.
The finish, which is bright and shiny, has very few usage marks as can be seen in the photographs.
The decals are a deep golden color.
The sewing bed is removable so that the machine can be used as a freearm sewing machine.
The throat plate is a graduated throat plate. The markings are in eighths.
The light and switch both work as does the bobbin winder and the foot control.
The case is in excellent condition. It is clean both inside and out. The latches work very well.
The attachments are shown below and include the darning foot and embroidery hoop.
The embroidery hoop was the only 222K specific attachment that was made specifically for the 222K and that was an option to purchase.
The stitches from this Featherweight are straight and tight with good tension and no skipping of the stitches. A sample of the stitching will accompany the sewing machine.
Featherweights are notorious for being damaged while being shipped. It is very important that they be carefully and properly packed. It takes over an hour to properly pack a Featherweight for safe shipment. I have packed and shipped many Featherweights and have the experience to provide safe shipping.
Delivery is by USPS Priority Mail / Canada Post Expedited Parcel.
Shipping is $48.
