Billy, I was glad to find that you started this post (and have book marked it) - thank you :) This would be a good place to ask others about my 221 featherweight (that i just posted about.)
Does anyone know if the 221-1 can sew through denim and multiple layers? I just got her and want to be gentle with her. I'm cutting fabric for a denim rag quilt and don't know if she up to this. Has anyone had experience with this. Thank you in advance for your thoughts and suggestions.
