In the meantime, I thought I would ask here. There's so much knowledge on this board!

Remember, there are two kinds of Featherweights. the vintage ones, model 221, of which there is a white one. and then the newer machines, small ones that they have
labeled "Featherweight" but are nothing like the original ones. vast cost & quality difference !
the vintage, white, model 221 Singer Featherweight is hard-wired (you can not remove plug from side ), shorter extension bed, no decals,belt driven & several other different design features. I have several vintage 221's, & don't personally, consider the white ones the quality of the others. they were only made for a few years in the latter years of 221 production. Graham Forsdyke has one of the most informative websites. an honest dealer.
