Just got my FW that I purchased on e-bay and would like to know a little about it. It came from someone in Canada and it is a beauty! Runs great. Original case. Lots of extra feet. Threads and bobbins. Needles. Original instruction book. Ripper. Tweezers. Much more.

It is a Singer 221-1
Number on bottom is EF154671
SS - Au61-11-7 on top plate

Any help in identifying history would be great. I know this is the right place to ask for "answers".

Thanks

Enjoy your new toy!

Would you please tell me what site you are using? I couldn't find that much info when I looked up mine.

Yay!!! Now you're an official member of our Featherweight "club" !!!!!!!!!! :D:D
Have fun!!

Thanks for the info and the web site. Now I can tell my DH what is so special about this machine. He is very supportive of my quilting interest but didn't understand why I needed another sewing machine. He raises registered angus and I support him in his interest. I asked him why he needs another cow. He gave me a puzzled look and had no answer. Guess we are even! Have to admit - he never complains about what buy. I am very lucky!
