Anyone know know where I can find a replacement for this screw?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure you are referring to the "gib screw"
I'm guessing you have gone over the area and/or the case with a magnet. There are two styles of bobbin cases. if you go to
https://singer-featherweight.com/blo...vicing-manuals and download the service manual for the 221, you will see the differences on page 19 of the pdf. You could check here
https://singer-featherweight.com/products/gib-screw (if you have the old style, you might want to double check which style that one is for) It looks like there are both styles at

Both places are recommended and both have been helpful if you call to make sure you are getting the correct part for your machine.
