I think that’s interesting considering the difference in the sizes of the machines. While there were only two true models of the SINGER® Featherweight sewing machine manufactured, some people consider the SINGER® 301/301A to be bigger sisters to the 221 and 222K models. SINGER® 222K models were produced in black only and are highly desirable – and expensive, due to their features and limited production run. The 222K model is also a smidge taller than the 221 model, remember those dropping feed dogs, so it doesn’t really fit in a 221 case.

The 222K has a removable bed which turns it into a free arm sewing machine and the feed dogs can be dropped. The 222K had a very limited production run from 1953 until 1961. There are several important distinctions between the two models. The SINGER® 222K model looks very similar, and is often mistaken for, the SINGER® 221 model. Their appeal, besides their adorable appearance, is their portability and the great stitch quality they produce. They come in a compact case that has efficient storage for the machine, the foot pedal, the attachments and sometimes the oil can. You can find the SINGER® 221 models in various colours: white (turquoise), tan or black (shiny or very few in crinkle), with the most common models being the shiny black ones. These little guys look like a child’s toy, but they stitch like a regular sewing machine. The SINGER® 221 was first manufactured by SINGER® in 1933. Let’s take a look at these three models so you have a clear understanding of each of them. It’s important to understand how these machines vary from one another, as their selling prices are vastly different. There is also a SINGER® 301/301A model, which some consider a “sister” to the 221 and 222K Featherweight models. Both of these machines look very similar, but there are significant differences. SINGER® manufactured two models of the SINGER® Featherweight: the 221 and the 222K. There is often some confusion about what exactly a SINGER® Featherweight is. While you might not think that this makes a big difference when it comes to price, I can assure you that it does. I have noticed this especially when looking at Singer Featherweight models: a 221 described as a 222 or vice versa. Most sellers don't even know the make of the machine, let alone the model. When I'm looking at listings online I've noticed that there usually isn't a very good description of the machine.
