Rins Restorations Sewing Machine Repair & Restoration Blog 

The Singer Featherweight 221 isn’t just a sewing machine — it’s a piece of history. Introduced in 1933, this lightweight, elegant model became a favorite among quilters for its portability, durability, and flawless straight stitch. More than 90 years later, it remains one of the most collectible vintage machines, celebrated for its timeless design, quiet performance, and emotional connection to generations of sewists.
