Sometimes you can just get lucky buying a featherweight. Check estate sales and Kijiji. A couple of weeks ago, I answered an ad in Kijiji and a lady was advertising two old Singers for $60. She was cleaning out her mother's and her aunt's houses and didn't sew or even know what she had. From the fuzzy picture and description, I thought at least one of them might be a featherweight. When I got there, both were 221's, one a 1948 model and the other a 1952. I felt almost guilty as I handed her the $60 and quickly loaded them before she changed her mind. Both of them needed a good cleaning but have all the attachments and the instruction books. The machines are out there and hunting for one gives you something to search for at auctions and estate and garage sales. I have never yet found a 222 or the card table or cabinet for the 221 at any sales but I am ever hopeful.
