I have to say she is a beauty. I just found my 1st featherweight…white 221k7. Serial number dates it June 1964. Made in Great Britain. I found it at our local savers thrift store in a moving box marked $19.99, with my 20%off coupon I only paid $16.98 for the most exciting sewing machine I’ve ever owned. I ordered a new belt and I’m ready to clean her up and start my featherweight journey.
I have a Singer 201. Blissful elegant black. It looks so beautiful, mature, and ready to work. This cute Featherweight in neotenous green, looks so... Cute. It looks like a true featherweight.
I bought my 22l in the seventies. Sewed all the time! Then I bought one with bells and whistles and let my aunt borrow my featherweight in '92 "to hem her slips". Well, time passed and I did not get it back and her house caught fire! Everything burned. My aunt escaped (great!) But my precious mint green featherweight did not!!
I just revived my first FW 221 and I reacted the same way. Mine is a Blank n Gold from Oct 1951. I was so overwhelmed and excited as well. Your color is beautiful! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!
oh my you almost had me crying!!! I agree the best gift ever!! Some day I'd love to get one of mine panted teal!! I have the same green cabinet as you do but mine is blue.. enjoy your lovely "new" machine!!!!
It's so fun to see you unwrap her. It's funny that they wrap it up like it's Bisque china or Wedgewood crystal...when these little machines are some of the toughest in the business. Mine was "born" in 1938. 85 years young and still sews better than any other machine I have!
She is GEORGEOUS!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!❤😂🎉🎉 I cant wait to send mine off to be repaired and painted strawberry pink !! I'm so excited for you !! Makes me wish mine was already done !!😊
I just stumbled upon your lovely video! I have my grandmother’s Featherweight 221. It’s a lighter shade of green than yours. I’m 62, so I think it was manufactured around the time I was born. I love it with all the enthusiasm you showed in your video! I hope you’re having a ball with her! 💕
Lovely! I'm sure you have been enjoying this little gem. I have a 221K and am teaching my 8yo granddaughter to sew and car for a machine. Mine is celery colored. Built in Scottland 1953... blew my mind at a garage sale not a scratch anywhere on her. Lady said it belonged to her grumpy MIL and was glad to get rid of it for ..... (wait for it...)... $25.00 in 2000. I did tell her it was worth WAY More. She chuckled at me and said 25 bucks or not at all.
You said you have to look at your other one to see where that part goes on top of the featherweight. So what other one do you have? Is it the original black 221?
Did you get it by winning it on the featherweight faire that they have once a month on the first Tuesday of every month, I love the featherweight shop! I have four featherweights and one of them is white that I won on an online auction with an estate sale About a year ago!
The screwed on spool mount is where you grease the gear. The motor is on the right hand side at the back and base of the machine. You didn’t show us the foot control. I still have my 222k bought for me as a 14th birthday present. My mother went without to buy it for me. Still in excellent condition along with the box, after a busy life and subsequent exile to the attic. I had the foot control rewired to meet current UK electrical safety standards and got the timing sorted out. In the meantime had bought a fancy new machine when fixing my first one would have been sufficient to my current requirements.
I would love to get one..i learn to see from my mom .she had a singer .i think it was late 40"s or fifty's..with cabinet and pedal plus a motor..love to see your excitement..love your tube videos..i like to know the name of the company of the gift..
I'm always looking for new channels to watch and yours was suggested to me. Being the owner of 2 featherweights (black & white) I couldn't resist with the title. She's beautiful! I was guessing it was green way before you got it open. And btw, happy belated birthday. I can't believe you are 50!! Surely that's a mistake and you just turned 30??
Lol I already have two with original paint. I love the painted ones I’ve seen on Pinterest, so hubby listened and made my dreams come true. I’d like a yellow one as well. Thanks for watching😊
Calling a featherweight “heavy” really? Lol. Out of all the wonderful colors …. Green would not be my choice. Motor oil is for motor sewing machine oil is for gears and friction points that’s sewing machine maintenance 101! Enjoy.
I have 13 of these and I couldn’t help but get excited watching YOU!!! LOL the love just never stops! She’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Where did you buy it from?

I just got a 1948 featherweight also in saversor $32.00 I am still. In shock and so excited😂😂😂
Beautiful and love all the stuff you got with it. Good luck and many happy hours of sewing.
Loved the video- what a beaut! I’m “pea green” with envy! Gorgeous paint!!
Beautiful. I’m sure you have figured this out already, but the curved tip syringe is the grease/lubricant. Enjoy your new baby.
She’s a beaut! Happy Birthday! So blessed. 💐
The Singer is cute but I love all the old furniture around
I feel your excitement, 😃, very sweet machine.

I just got mine two weeks ago. And already love her. She purrs. She was born in 1949. Happy birthday 🎈🎂🎉 Have a blessed birthday. Glo
Impressive the care with which they wrapped/packed the machine
That should be minimum with fresh paint and shipping.
I just revived my first FW 221 and I reacted the same way. Mine is a Blank n Gold from Oct 1951. I was so overwhelmed and excited as well. Your color is beautiful! Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

We all name our Beautiful Singer featherweight… I made a name tag for mine using scrabble pieces …
You said you have to look at your other one to see where that part goes on top of the featherweight. So what other one do you have? Is it the original black 221?
great color!
I’m so happy for you.
Your so lucky.

I give up. You took far too long and made much toouch about every little thing.

It was purchased from singer-featherweight.com
You look so happy with this wonderful birthday gift. The machine looks fantastic. Enjoy your sewing on your new machine.
How much did you pay for the restoration of your featherweight?
My husband purchased my featherweight from singer-featherweight.com.
Que linda
Where did you buy it from? Love the color!
Cuz I want one too for my 70 birthday.
I have always wanted one of those 😓
My husband bought it from the Featherweight Shop.
Thank you 😊
@@terrymatsusaki9032 Happy 70th Birthday 🥳
Was your machine born in England by chance?
I’m not sure 🤔 I’ll check.
Love it. How much to custom paint ?
Hubby bought it from the Featherweight Shop.
I'm always looking for new channels to watch and yours was suggested to me. Being the owner of 2 featherweights (black & white) I couldn't resist with the title. She's beautiful!

Just a little over the top. Cya
I'm new to your channel She is beautiful What's her name
Welcome to my channel. I named her Lori, because she reminds me of quilting designer, Lori Holt. Lol
Good grief!!!
Nice machine but green 🤦♂️. Should have left it original
Lol I already have two with original paint. I love the painted ones I’ve seen on Pinterest, so hubby listened and made my dreams come true. I’d like a yellow one as well. Thanks for watching😊
Obnoxious....😂
Calling a featherweight “heavy” really? Lol. Out of all the wonderful colors …. Green would not be my choice. Motor oil is for motor sewing machine oil is for gears and friction points that’s sewing machine maintenance 101! Enjoy.
Just had mine painted green
heavy just pick up a little model 66 now that is heavy
That's exactly the color I'd get! ❤️❤️❤️
In my opinion, the case was perfect!!! The machine was a disappointment, a featherweight should be black and gold!
Don’t yuck on someone else’s yum 🤨
Im going to start collecting vintage machines.
How is that going? Have you found some?
Not a single close up 😮
