Vintage White Singer Featherweight 221K Sewing Machine – 1964

A beautiful vintage Singer Featherweight 221K portable electric sewing machine, dating to 1964 and finished in its distinctive glossy white enamel.

Manufactured at Singer's Kilbowie factory in Scotland, this sought-after British-made model comes with its contrasting pale blue and black carrying case, instruction booklet and a selection of original Singer attachments and accessories. The machine bears serial number EV970638 and has been professionally cleaned, recalibrated and tested. It stitches very well and has also been electrically checked by a qualified electrician.

The machine has an elegant, streamlined design with a lovely glossy finish, black Singer lettering and the distinctive red and gold Singer emblem.

Designed to be lightweight and portable, the 221K features a folding extension table, adjustable stitch length, electric motor and foot-operated speed controller. The machine retains its Singer CAK 9-12 motor, marked Made in Great Britain, together with its electrical cable and foot pedal. 

First introduced in 1933, the Singer Featherweight became one of the most popular portable sewing machines of the 20th century. The later British-made 221K incorporated several design improvements while retaining the compact proportions and dependable mechanical construction for which the Featherweight became renowned.

Today, these beautifully engineered machines are collected and appreciated by sewing enthusiasts, quilters and Singer collectors worldwide.
