- Here’s a rare beauty that was made in Great Britain in 1957. Singer Featherweight model 222-K. Precise and perfect is how I describe these little jewels. They’re hard to find and priced accordingly. If you find one for $2,000 or so, you’ve really hit the jackpot. (Video 134)

I have one with a red S from 1960 sews like a dream. Just trying to get it to do free motion embroidery , but am waiting for the foot. I live just down the road from where they were made so pleased it got to stay in Scotland!
Having the drop feed feature will make your free motion embroidery a breeze.
It’s awesome that you’re in the neighborhood of it’s original birthplace.
I would love to visit that area. Others tell me it a great place to be.
Thanks for taking the time to add an inspiring comment. 😎👍🏼
Ive just found one of these in the cupboard under the stairs, Dates to March 9 1959 in very clean condition lovely looking machine
Nice discovery. They’re going for around $3000 or more in my area, if you can find someone willing to sell it. Congratulations.
Hello please what needles is suitable for it ,a friend gave me one but the needles i have at home are not suitable thanks
@@alakaolushola5556 it’s still state of the art and takes Singer, Schmetz, or any modern 15 x 1 needle.
Needle technology has advanced, but the needles are basically the same for every household machine out there.
Remember that the flat side installs to the left side, and it threads right to left, inside out.
@@randyyoursewingmachineman9954 thanks for the information i believe it is the way am threading it

i have one like this and don't have a way to search my serial number. also, the throat plate screw is so tight I can't turn it. any suggestions?
ISMACS.NET is the site where you can search your serial number for its year of origin.
I have an angle screwdriver that I use when the needle plate screws are too tight to loosen. They’re available at most hardware stores and they have an angled slotted screwdriver on one end and a phlllips screwdriver on the other end. Look for one that’s fine (thin) and not thick.
