Hi,
Aside from the harp size issue, the 221 motor isn't designed for constant pedal-to-the-metal sewing so FMQ may lead to burnout.

Hi,
Aside from the harp size issue, FMQ isn't suggested on the 221 because the motor isn't designed to handle constant pedal-to-the-metal rapid sewing and may be at risk of burnout.
