Refurbished Singer Featherweight 221

Singer Featherweight
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.

​If you are interested in buying a refurbished Singer Featherweight, please click here  to check availability. If there are no active listings, inquiries regarding machines in progress may be sent to info@FoxtailQuilting.com.

Thank you for posting this information and the link. I have one of these that was my Aunts first machine and I recently decided I wanted to refurbish it after it has been sitting for so many years. I was planning to send it to a repair shop when I found your blog. The linked videos will be a great help along with your blog tips in tackling this project. Thank you for posting this information. - RG
