Here is a nice little on-line site with the history, sale of parts, ideas etc. for owners of Singer 221 and 222
https://singer-featherweight.com
"The Featherweight Shop."
they give free trouble shooting advice and post free monthly craft & quilting tutorials..
I am not endorsing them,, just sharing with you another good site for help with our Feather Weight machines.

The FeatherWeight Shop is my go-to for accessories for my machine also. I have a little black child's size machine that my dad bought for me when I was 5. Through the years the tension spring has been broken off and I have looked forever for a replacement.

The feather weight site I lsted above, will re-paint your machine,, but $$$
I think, but don't hold me to it,, they have a tutorial on how to paint a 221/222
If I were brace enough,,, I'd paint mine either a Aqua or candy apple red!!!

My 221 has a beautiful story. I sold her to a friend when I bought a newer Singer and soon regretted doing that. My df became very ill anf few years later she died. About 6 months after her death a semi pulled up in front of my home and the driver came to my door carrying a package. Much to my surprize my 221 had come home. Glenda's husband had sent her home. I cried tears of sadness and joy. As you probably know all Feather Weights are named and mine is Glenda. Kathy
