I'm glad that the powdery junk can be removed. There is one of those little felt circles in the bottom of the machine. It's red. I don't know what that liner thing is that you were talking about though.

Also, is this a 221 or a 222? I know that 221's seem to have been more popular, and there were more of them. Do you know what the differences are?
You have a 221. The 222 is a 'free' arm machine, meaning the bed comes apart so you have a 'free arm' for sewing sleeves, etc. The 222's are harder to find and very expensive if you find one! Here is a free manual you can download for your 221. Have fun with your Mom's machine! http://www.ismacs.net/singer_sewing_...ng-machine.pdf
