No, the plate from the black 221 won't fit the on the white 221. The bottom plate on the black Featherweights are metal and have a recessed area in the middle (where the screw goes through). The recessed area prevents the plate from fitting level on the white 221. . The plates on the white Featherweights are a 'fiberboard' and are flat. I think the fiberboard type would be easy to make. I can furnished a tracing/pattern from my machine.

Thanks
