Featherweights For Sale
We love the thrill of searching for vintage Singer Featherweight sewing machines, bringing them back to life, and helping them find a new loving home.
Every machine that comes through our doors is carefully inspected, cleaned, serviced, and tested. We replace worn or aging parts as needed, including light bulbs, belts, drip pads, bed cushion feet, and other components to ensure each machine is ready for many more years of sewing. Some Featherweights arrive in beautiful condition, while others simply need a little extra care and attention. Considering that many of these machines are nearly 90 years old, each restoration is truly a labor of love.
We've been fortunate to find a wonderful variety of Featherweights, including scroll-face models, straight-face models, white and tan machines, Centennial, School Bells, and even the highly sought-after Singer 222 Free-Arm Featherweights. Every machine has its own unique history, and we love knowing that it will become part of someone else's quilting and sewing story.
If you can't visit us in person, we are happy to ship your Featherweight anywhere in the United States for $60. Each machine is professionally packed by our local UPS Store to help ensure it arrives safely, and every shipment includes a tracking number for peace of mind.

The "School Bell" Singer Featherweight 221
The "School Bell" Singer Featherweight 221 is one of the earliest versions of Singer's iconic Featherweight sewing machine, manufactured between 1933 and 1935. Its nickname comes from the distinctive bell-shaped bobbin winder tension unit mounted on the front of the machine, which resembles an old-fashioned school bell.
As one of the first Featherweights ever produced, the School Bell marks the beginning of the Featherweight's remarkable history. Singer later redesigned the bobbin winder, making this unique feature exclusive to the earliest machines. School Bell Featherweights also carry the early AD serial number series.
Today, the School Bell Featherweight is admired for its craftsmanship, historical significance, and its role in launching one of the most beloved sewing machines ever made.
The Scroll Face Singer Featherweight 221
The Scroll Face Singer Featherweight 221 is one of the most recognizable and sought-after versions of the Featherweight. Produced from 1933 through the late 1930s, these early machines are distinguished by the beautiful ornate scrollwork decals decorating the front of the machine.
The elegant gold scroll design reflects Singer's craftsmanship during the early years of Featherweight production and gives these machines a classic vintage appearance. While later Featherweights featured simpler decals, the Scroll Face models remain favorites among collectors for their detailed artistry and timeless beauty.
Like all Singer 221 Featherweights, the Scroll Face is celebrated for its portability, durability, and exceptional straight stitch. Nearly a century after they were first produced, these machines continue to be treasured by quilters, sewists, and collectors alike for both their performance and their rich history.
The Straight Face Singer Featherweight 221
The Straight Face Singer Featherweight 221 was introduced in the late 1930s as Singer transitioned from the ornate Scroll Face decals to a cleaner, more streamlined design. Instead of decorative scrollwork, these machines feature simple, straight gold lines on the front, giving them the nickname "Straight Face."
While the appearance changed, the legendary performance of the Featherweight remained the same. Known for their portability, durability, and beautiful straight stitch, Straight Face Featherweights quickly became a favorite among home sewists and quilters.
Today, the Straight Face 221 is admired for its timeless design and dependable performance. Its classic look and rich history continue to make it one of the most beloved vintage sewing machines ever produced.
White and Tan Singer Featherweight 221
The White and Tan Singer Featherweights are two of the most distinctive variations of the iconic Model 221. While most Featherweights were produced in black, these special editions stand out for their unique finishes and historical significance.
The Tan Centennial Featherweight, introduced in 1951, was created to celebrate Singer's 100th anniversary and is easily recognized by its tan crinkle finish and gold Liberty Bell medallion. The White Featherweight, produced during the 1960s, features a bright white finish with gold decals, reflecting the modern styling of the era.
Although their appearance differs, both machines offer the same legendary portability, durability, and beautiful straight stitch that have made the Singer Featherweight a favorite among quilters and sewists for generations.
The Singer Featherweight 22
The Singer Featherweight 222, often called the "Free-Arm Featherweight," is one of the rarest and most desirable Featherweight models ever produced. Introduced in the 1950s, the Model 222 features a removable extension bed that converts the machine into a free arm, making it ideal for sewing sleeves, cuffs, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Like the Model 221, the 222 is celebrated for its portability, durability, and exceptional straight stitch. However, its added versatility and limited production have made it especially popular with quilters, sewists, and collectors alike.
Today, the Singer Featherweight 222 is considered one of the most iconic vintage sewing machines, combining the legendary quality of the Featherweight with the convenience of a free-arm design.
