Description

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.

  • Model: 222K
  • Serial: EK637545 (Dates it to 1955)
  • Includes: Oil Bottle, Light Bulb, (9) Bobbins, Manual, Presser Foot (Model 9454), Case & Other Accessories Shown

The 222K's more labor-intensive engineering and design made it less cost-effective for Singer to produce, leading to its discontinuation in 1961. Despite this, its superior quality and unique features have cemented its place as a valuable collector's item.
