Singer 222K Featherweight Sewing Machine
The Singer 222K Featherweight Sewing Machine is renowned for its exceptional engineering and compact, lightweight design. Manufactured in Scotland from 1953 to 1961, this model is often referred to as the "Free-Arm Featherweight" due to its detachable bed feature, allowing for easier sewing of cylindrical pieces such as sleeves and cuffs. With approximately 100,000 units produced worldwide, the 222K is highly collectible and sought after by sewing enthusiasts and collectors alike. Known for its durability and smooth stitching, it remains one of the best sewing machines ever made.
