Sewing Machine Review: Singer Featherweight 221 (c. 1951)
Channel: Sew DIY
Date: 2022-05-11

This is the second video in a new series, sharing about my sewing machines. Today, I'm talking about my vintage Singer Featherweight 221. I inherited this machine from my great-aunt and have only been using it for about 5 months. I share the features of the machine, and demonstrate how to wind a bobbin, thread the machine and a bit of sewing. Plus, I talk a little bit about how much these machines cost. 

I love the sound of this mechanical (non-computerized machine so, I've included a couple minutes of ASMR style stitching for your enjoyment. This section starts at time stamp 13:02 and ends at 15:12.
