SEW-RETRO GreaseTM has been specially formulated with the proper melting point and lubricating qualities for vintage & antique sewing machines, including the Singer Featherweight 221 & 222K... some attachments need grease sometimes, too! SEW-RETRO GreaseTM is appropriate for any and all sewing machines with all-metal gears. (Do not use this lube with any plastic or nylon gears.)
Each SEW-RETRO GreaseTM comes with an instruction sheet for application as well as a port-cleaning tool so you can clean out the motor ports of the old grease. You can also use a Q-tip or hollow cotton swab (with both cotton swab ends cut off) as a replacement port-cleaning tool.
Protect your counter top or table with this all-new Featherweight Servicing Mat! Designed so that you can maintain a tidy work-space and help to prevent all those little Featherweight screws from bouncing on a hard surface. The mat also works great during sewing as it dampens machine vibration.
This black mat features a complete schematic of parts of the entire Featherweight with views of the motor, foot controller and tension unit as well. We have sourced these designs from various manuals and rare Featherweight documents in order to compile the most concise Featherweight schematic. The mat is 3mm thick, and the underside backing is rubber to help keep it in place during a machine service and / or to use while sewing; it has a bound edge for a clean finish.
Service Mat measures 26" x 16" - the "just right" size! Servicing Mat is large enough for machine, tools, oil, grease and more.
This is the first replica bobbin case that has been made to the same standards as the vintage original Featherweight bobbin case. Our new Featherweight Shop bobbin case will work in all Featherweights: the black 221 models, white 221 models, tan 221 models, the 222 Free-Arm Featherweight and even the Singer 301. As an added assurance, we machine, fit, polish and test each and every bobbin case. This means, every replacement bobbin case that is processed through our shop comes with both a bobbin wound with thread and a tested stitch sample. These two things stand as The Featherweight Shop signature guarantee of a properly working replica bobbin case.
This is a brand new, replica standard straight-stitch presser foot just like the ones included with most all vintage Singer Sewing Machines. If you have a Singer Featherweight then this is just like the style of foot that would have been original to your machine. This is a low shank foot. This presser foot is for straight-stitch only. Do not try to zigzag stitch (if using on a zigzag machine) using this presser foot.
LOW SHANK: fits the Singer Featherweight 221, 222K and all low, vertical shank Sewing Machines (i.e. 15, 27, 28, 66, 99, 185, 127, 128, 192, 201, 206, 237, 306, 319, 320, 328, as well as many other brands besides Singer)
New Thumb Screw for Presser Foot and Attachments -- fits all Singer Sewing Machine models, including the Singer Featherweight 221 and 222K, as well as the Singer 301 (301A). This is the screw you need for the Seam Cloth Guide as well.
This is a small piece of plastic tubing that makes removing the old, original light bulbs a cinch! You can easily acquire this tubing at your local hardware store, but for the convenience to our customers we are now offering the light bulb tool on our website.
Stitching in the ditch is great for beginning quilters. Ordinarily, when you stitch in the ditch you must keep the stitch as close to the middle of your seam as possible and your eye on the needle at all times. You do not want your stitches to wander in and out, far away from your seam. (Therefore, it is important that all seams align perfectly so that your stitch will be in a straight line.)
And while it is still important to have a watchful eye on the needle, this 'Stitch-in-the-Ditch' foot helps alleviate guessing and serves as a smooth guide with which to stitch. (Note: You should always practice first on a small sandwich.) The guide on this foot is perfect because it allows you to stitch just a hair's width from the seam, keeping your stitching line straight.
It is the ideal foot to have for seamstresses (as well as you men who sew, too) as another tool for Understitching - where you press seam allowances to one side and top stitch as close to the seam as possible. This holds the seam allowance down and causes the piece of fabric to stay folded under, especially useful for facings.
The little steel bar aligns to your seam and guides your stitching throughout the entire project.
For Quilting: Because it does not have it's own feeding mechanism, this foot would be limited to very small quilt projects where shifting of the layers is not as prevalent.
LOW SHANK: fits the Singer Featherweight 221, 222K and all low, vertical shank Sewing Machines (i.e. 15, 27, 28, 66, 99, 185, 127, 128, 192, 201, 206, 237, 306, 319, 320, 328, as well as many other brands besides Singer)
This Roller Foot Attachment is great for sewing materials that are difficult to feed, such as vinyl, oil cloth or coated / laminated fabrics, leather, velvet, micro-fiber, and suede. The textured roller helps to grip and smoothly roll over the material.

You can start out simple - everything, as you know, takes practice. But, before you can start at all, you will certainly need this Embroidery/Darning Attachment to help you.
