Beautiful and relatively rare Singer Featherweight 222K free arm sewing machine in very good condition. She is completely serviced, cleaned, polished, electrically inspected, timed, tuned and test sewn. The sewing sample is shown on a medium-weight fabric without ironing.
The machine weighs as little as 5 kilos and the circumference of the free arm is a narrow 18.4 cm - perfect for all "fiddly" sewing jobs and, of course, the ideal machine for the doll couturier! She sews the finest through the thickest fabric (tension has to be adjusted, of course), including leather. All doll shoes shown by me in the Gildebrief magazines over the years were stitched on a Featherweight 222 K and I still do all my doll machine sewing only on my 222K.
When the flatbed extension is pushed in place, you can sew larger flat items easily. The difference between the Featherweight 221 and the 222K is that the 222K has the free arm and that you can lower the feed dog easily with a knob (for darning , free-hand embroidery and using the zigzag attachments etc), which most Featherweight 221 machines do not have, instead you have to screw a cover over the feed dog.
She is also really pretty, so it is a real pleasure to sew on this little treasure!
The number of the machine is: EK 321883, 1955, made somewhere between late February to early March.
