Am looking for anyone who has bought a sewing machine with a 220V and how they converted it to 110V.

It was made in England. It is a Featherweight in beautiful condition and I know it can be fixed to work on 110V, I am just not sure where to begin looking and what am I looking for.

Couldn't you just purchase a converter? I had to buy one for my son when he traveled to Japan and they weren't very expensive. I think I bought it at Radio Shack.
