It was easy to install the Superbelt Motor Belt from The Featherweight Shop.
This a newer style of v-belt of new type material and it worked very well.
It's a nice value at $10.95 and the shipping was very quick.

I'm so happy to find your channel someone on Facebook recommended you.
Welcome to Andy Tube, Cynthia. I'm happy you found my channel, and thanks to the Facebook member who recommended me. Most of my 600 videos are about vintage Singer sewing machines (VSSM) and here is the link to my main Playlist page: ua-cam.com/channels/USPDsHaFtRoz1VA2U1xJ4w.htmlplaylists
The first several playlists are by type of repair or part of the machine, such as needle bar, motor, belts, bobbin winder. That type of playlist is comprised of all the videos for the part and may be from several model numbers. The following Playlists are by Model Number, like 221, where I have grouped all the videos for the number. I've tried to make it a little easier to find what you may be looking for. I appreciate you watching my channel and if I can help with any sewing machine question just ask. Take care.
Andy, you ARE the expert!! No need to see others, sir!!
Here at the end of a tough day this comment cheered me up no end! 😀 Your words are very kind and I thank you. ✨
good job andy you KNOW that machine is singing as high and as happy as it can for everything you have done to it !!!! that is 1 very cute machine;];];];]
Thanks very much. At least LaLa seems to be running well. Time will tell if she can sew again. Thanks for watching. Take Care.
I just put the Superbelt on my Featherweight a couple of weeks ago too! I was skeptical at first as it didn’t seem as substantial as the usual v-belts, but so far so good! Thanks for doing this video, it’s good to see your experience withe the Superbelt! 😁
Thanks for the verification, Leigh. When I first got it I thought it looked flimsy, but after working with it I like that it is smaller and more lightweight. A nice grip to it, too. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take Care.
Andy I like your machine! I bought a brother Festival 461 a couple weeks ago .It's a nice machine and in great condition! It's good to see you back on utube again!
Thank you. I looked up pictures of your 461. A sturdy looking machine. Nice to look at. If I ever run out of Singer models I'd take a look at vintage Brothers, if only for their colors 👀
Hope you enjoy yours. Take Care.
@@andytubesewing1953 thank you Andy.My machine is the tan color the stitch window is tangerine.I was lucky and got the pink and white flowered cover with mine.The machine just reached out and grabbed me.Lol.I'm still looking to buy a singer machine too.
@@sharondavidson7072 It sounds unique and pretty. I usually a function over form guy, but I've bought every blue vintage Singer I came across. Something about that blue...
Andy, did you try and wind a bobbin with the new Super belt? That raised lettering on the belt makes quite a racket when the wheel from the bottom winder runs over that raised lettering on the belt!
I never got the chance. I went to do some test sewing the next day and the belt broke! ua-cam.com/video/1MVvB8AW-DQ/v-deo.html
I then found a "New Style" V-Belt and installed it. ua-cam.com/video/FFykxMw_ygs/v-deo.html to my satisfaction.
Got one for my 221 several months ago.
It must be working OK for you, Nola. Thanks for watching.
Thank you!I I am about to replace mine.
Sure, but watch these other videos too. The belt broke on the first day. They sent me two new free ones that worked, but I was shipping to an overseas location so I bought and installed a traditional V-belt. ua-cam.com/video/1MVvB8AW-DQ/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/FFykxMw_ygs/v-deo.html
It was working fine pior to the installation, but I may need to do a few adjustments
I have not reinstalled the bobbin winder on my machine yet, but I'll be interested to do so. Bummer if it does not work as well. Good luck, and thanks for sharing that info.
I bought one of these and it does not catch the bobbin as well when I engage bobbin. I might need to call the shop for help
If you mean winding the bobbin I had to clean and adjust the bobbin winder on this machine when I first got it. I made a video if you'd care to see it may help, IDK ua-cam.com/video/ZvvS3zI8Myw/v-deo.html Thanks for watching my channel and good luck.
