Refurbished Singer Featherweight 221

After discovering an interest in vintage machines mostly inspired by members at my local quilt guild, I bought a couple of Featherweights in Wichita, Kansas and Dallas, Texas.
​
These machines are sturdy and easy to clean and repair if you're willing to invest the time and some $$ for supplies.

During the process of refurbishing these Featherweights, it occurred to me that I was better off having done this on my own rather than in a group class mainly because I'm not sure how a group of people indoors can tolerate the concentrated odor of kerosene used for cleaning -- I took mine outside, used a fan and wore a mask. Like any hobby, it may take more effort, but it's less expensive to buy a DIY cleaning kit and watch videos online rather than buy a class only to discover that you also need to purchase parts and/or cleaning supplies.
