Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machine with MANY ATTACHMENTS and Case, Works Perfectly



My wife wrote this description:


I wound up inheriting 3 Featherweights and have used one my entire sewing life. For one crazy moment, I bought a huge, fancy, do-it-all machine that had a computer system in which you dialed in your stitch and adjusted your tension and it was supposed to be perfect. This do-it-all was so heavy that I could hardly lift it, at 48 pounds without the case. After a year with the new machine, I realized that the Featherweight did a better job.


For no particular reason, I used one machine and the other two sat in the closet. They were all pretty much identical, so I’m selling one of the extra machines. I’ve included a manual for a Singer 15-91 and it looks like it would work with the 221. I don’t know where this manual came from but it was stored with the machine. The actual 20 page Featherweight manual is available as a PDF download on line.


There are three attachments that don’t have the Singer numbering and I’ve marked them in one of the photos. Since they were in the case with the machine, I assume that they do something with this machine, but that may not necessarily be true.


The machine is in good condition for its age and use, with some minor and expected wear of the gold detail. It stitches perfectly backwards and forward. The bobbin winder also works perfectly.


The case and the case shelf insert are pretty shot. The pictures speak for themselves.


Feel free to request additional photos or ask questions. Sometimes with a machine like this, you forget some minor thing that is important to a buyer.

As an aside, the definitive book on the Featherweight is “Featherweight 221, The Perfect Portable and its stitches across history” by Nancy Johnson-Srebro. It gives you the history of the Singer Featherweight 221 with tips on collecting. Color photos are included in the book along with limited edition and rare machines like the tan, mint green, free arm and more. It also includes a complete chart of serial numbers for use in determining the manufacture date as well as a reprint of the original machine manual. The author has done an incredible amount of research tracking down all kinds of models and manufacturing sites and as you read through the book it makes you wonder why Singer didn\'t do this itself. Apparently Singer never kept the records that Nancy Johnson-Srebro did. It is available on Amazon.

Domestic Shipping and Handling

Shipments to Hawaii and Alaska will be quoted after the sale closes, or feel free to email me for a shipping quote to your zip code.

Overseas and Special-Circumstances Shipping

Overseas and Special circumstance shipping will be quoted after the sale closes. Overseas shipping will be a special quote based on the destination country. Overseas insurance or delivery confirmation will add substantially to the cost of the item; if you want this service, I may or may not be able to quote and provide it through the U.S. postal service depending on where the item is being sent. Let me know whether you do want such confirmation, but it may cost up to three times the price you paid for the item in question. As much as we\'d like to help, once it leaves our hands, we are not able to track items through delivery or customs problems in other countries.


Shipping insurance

Every effort is made to carefully pack and protect your purchase. The responsibility for requesting insurance is the buyer\'s. It must be requested at time of payment. Insurance, whether domestic or international, is charged at the Post Office\'s actual cost. Uninsured parcels are sent entirely at the risk of the buyer. In some cases, I will require insurance, due to the value of the item being sold.


When offerding is over

I will email an invoice to the winning buyer as soon as the offerding ends. This will reconfirm shipping details and ship-to address. If you are the winner, please send me a message within two days of the sale\'s close (just so I know you\'re alive). Occasionally, registered users have different newer addresses than the one initially registered (or some other kind of discrepant information), so please give me your direct email address to make it easy for me to confirm shipping and payment details.


Payment

Please wait to receive an invoice from me before payment. Payment must be received within 3 days of the sale\'s end. If payment is not received within this time or if I don\'t hear from you regarding payment arrangements, I notify \'s Safe Harbor to get sale fees refunded.


First time buyers or no-response members

If you\'re a first time buyer and the sale process confuses you, email me and I will help. If you win the sale, please email me at the sale\'s end and I will walk you through the procedure to payment.


Guarantee

If, within 24 hours of receipt, you think this/these item/items has been misrepresented, I will provide a full refund of the offer price.


Return Policy

There is a NO RETURN policy on properly described items. A true sale applies. Please ask all questions before you offer.


Questions and additional photos

I will be more than happy to answer questions and post answers to the listing or post or email additional (high-res) photos before the sale\'s end.


response

We always leave positive response after we know that the customer is happy. If there are any problems please contact me before leaving response.


Vintage Items

Vintage items are pre-owned and will come with the normal signs of use and wear commensurate with age, and as such will not be \'as new\' unless specifically described. However, I do my best to describe all items accurately with details of any flaws. I do not try to mislead and will be happy to answer any questions for further information.


Ending the sale early

I have occasionally ended an sale early when there have been no buyers or another er informs me that there\'s a discrepancy or misrepresentation in the description. I reserve the right to do this because I want to make sure that I\'m absolutely accurate in my descriptions or pictures of the item being sold, since I value my honesty and hope others will value it as well.



Most of all, thanks for viewing my listing
