Vintage Singer Featherweight Sewing Machines
From Us

Once you have used a vintage Singer Model 221 or 222 Featherweight sewing machine you will know why they are referred to as "The Perfect Portable", why a whole new generation of sewing machine collectors and seamstresses have fallen in love with them, and why many Singer Featherweight "users" soon become Singer Featherweight "collectors"!

We Only Sell Featherweight Sewing Machines in Original Condition!

We personally service and detail each and every one of these 221 and 222 Featherweights before we offer them for sale.  We recondition them by disassembling parts and doing a complete cleaning to remove old grease, grime and lint.  We inspect the belt, the motor, and the wiring, and make repairs / replacements as needed.  Our replacement parts are original Singer Featherweight parts sourced from our own supply of "parts machines".   Next we re-assemble and re-lubricate everything.  We check the timing and make any adjustments needed.  We adjust the thread and bobbin tensions, and the foot controller.  We outfit the machines with a new felt drip pad, new rubber feet, and an LED light bulb.  We sew-test and make any final adjustments to achieve that perfect Featherweight stitch.  Lastly we shine the surface using a high-quality carnauba wax. 

We do not repaint our Featherweights! 

Featherweight sewing machines were never produced in red, blue, purple, pink, green or raspberry.  Nor were they ever produced with floral / fantasy decals, stripes or polka dots.  Machines in those colors and patterns that you see offered up elsewhere on the Internet are machines that have been stripped of their original finish, powder-coated / repainted and with new decals applied.  They are typically machines that are found in poor cosmetic condition that are then cosmeticized.  Some people like them for their novelty, and although they are extremely expensive they are not authentic, original or rare---just look to see how many are being offered at Ebay on any given day---and they are not something we buy or sell.  As a longtime antique dealer I know that which is authentic stands the test of time.  And that anything made to be collectible in the long run won't be, in my opinion.   

I love to see vintage Singer 221 and 222 Featherweight sewing machines in pristine original cosmetic condition.  However I also realize that a lot of Featherweight buyers are on a budget and want a machine they can use day in and day out without worry.  Featherweights were meant to be used and there is still a need for hard working machines in somewhat less than the perfect 10 cosmetic condition.  When available I will offer machines in this category as well, but only when I can price them appropriately.

We stand behind what we sell!
Every Featherweight that we sell carries our written 1 Year Guarantee.

Regardless which machine you purchase from me all of the Singer Featherweights I sell have been disassembled, cleaned, oiled, adjusted, inspected, and sew-tested by me.  All my Featherweights have original Singer parts.  All my Singer Featherweights are 110 Volt wiring for US use.  The machine you buy from me will be ready to go back to work, ready to sit down and sew with right out of the box. Every single Featherweight we sell carries our 1-year guarantee!  Who else offers you that?

To assure your satisfaction all of the Vintage Singer Featherweight sewing machines we sell come with our complete 1-Year Money Back Guarantee.

No jumping through hoops!  No marketing ploys to create a sense of urgency!  No waiting with your finger on the button for the appointed time for the machines to go on sale!  No waiting for an auction to end, and then being disappointed!

I post my Featherweights as I get them serviced and photographed.  Sometimes that means I have 5 or 6 Featherweights available at any given time, sometimes only a couple.

I always have additional Featherweights in backstock, so if you don't see the one you want just email and tell me what you are looking for.  I'll work on that one next.

You can buy from me any day of the week!

If I have them listed it means they are available for you to purchase.

Once you have chosen which machine you would like to purchase just email ilovefeatherweights@gmail.com or call me at 530.748.7297.  I'll hold your chosen Featherweight for you and we can make arrangements for payment and shipping.

If you are not sure which machine will best suit your needs just call or email and I can help you determine that as well.

Be sure to look at all the picture links that I provide for each Featherweight---each Pic below the description is a clickable link that will bring up a picture---to see numerous views of the machine, the accessories and attachments, and the carry case.

If you are looking for a good, strong, working sewing machine that you can use day in and day out and you don't want to spend a small fortune to get it, chose one of these Featherweights from the lower price range. All of these vintage sewing machines look good and sew great!

If you are wanting a Singer Featherweight that you will be as proud to display and show off as you are to use, and you don't mind spending a little more, chose from the upper price range. These sewing machines are some of the nicest examples you are ever likely to find!

But please keep in mind that every Featherweight that has been used, no matter how infrequently or how carefully, will display some signs of use---minor pin marks, small paint chips or scrapes, some loss to the gold decaling, etc. These machines are 65-85 years old, and some wear is always evident, even on the nicest of them. "Shelf" wear occurs over a period of time, even if the machine is left undisturbed and unused in the case. I have been dealing in Featherweights for many years and I have never seen the cosmetically perfect "10"---I don't believe it exists.

Note: I sometimes have additional Singer Featherweight 221 or 222 sewing machines that have just come in and are waiting to be photographed and listed. So if you don't see the exact model you are looking for email me at ilovefeatherweights@gmail.com.

We can help you sell your Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine.
