Made in Elizabethport, New Jersey, U.S.A., this Featherweight's serial number is AF261186, which dates this Grand Lady of 69 years to July 11, 1939.
The Featherweight is a precision belt driven, low shank, rotary hook sewing machine, which uses Class 221/301 bobbins and 15 X 1 needles (still readily available today at your local fabric store.) Its weight is minimal, making it portable and being carried to quilting bees and sewing circles a breeze. It also functions and displays beautifully, and can be set up on any desk or table. The bed extension enhances its overall performance and enables one to hem and accomplish piecework or patchwork in a snap.
This fabulous custom Candy Apple Red Featherweight is in absolutely beautiful condition with its gold "Celtic Chain" decals displaying deep and brilliant golden colour. A breathtaking display of colour, it shimmers, sparkles, and gleams, and will bring joy to a special someone for years to come.
The machine runs quietly, smoothly, strongly, and well, it does not jump nor skip, and the stitches come out neat and holding proper tension. The bobbin case is present and seated snug and firm as it should be. The wiring and cords are also in superb condition with no play, breaks, nor exposed electrical parts.
The Singer Featherweight operates in forward and reverse and lets one choose from 6 to 30 stitches per inch, as well as extra fine satin stitching. It is capable of a basic straight stitch on its own; however, a zigzag attachment may be purchased from your local Singer Representative or On-Line to allow one to create many more combinations of decorative stitchery (unfortunately, a zig zag attachment is not included in this auction.)
