Default Question re: step-up transformer watts

Hello, fellow vintage machine lovers.

My Lady Nora, is a Great Britain 222K featherweight, she has a 220V 3-prong plug and came with a 2-prong converter for our US 120v plug-ins which only runs the sewing machine at a slow speed. I know I need to replace the prong converter with a step-up transformer but there are different versions with different watts. I want to be careful to not damage the 230V-250V 0.25amp motor with more watts than needed. If anyone here has dealt with this scenario, I would appreciate your guidance. How many transformer watts do I need?
