Feather weight sewing belt
 

Opinion needed. I want to get a used feather weight belt. Where can I order this belt. And what do I need. Serial # model #. I was told to get a used rubber belt. More flexiable Wont be as stiff. Any help with what I need to do. Don-isewman

Every featherweight came out of the factory with a new belt. Some old one get so stiff they set. I'll let others answer where. I haven't bought one (yet). Don't tighten the heck out of it. Just snug. I enjoyed my visits to Muscatine. My son worked there for a short bit.

This place is very nice. They have lots of tutorials, free shipping, and always answer my emails.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for getting back with me. SusieQOH, will check out that sight

Your welcome! They are really nice people.

aprils1930sshoppe is my go to place for my 301, but she specializes in FWs.

They are the same people.

I see that. There's been a name change since I needed 301 parts, though I do need a new bobbin winder donut for my lastest.

April1930s bought out Graham Forsdyke in the UK when he retired, that's why the name change. Don, I don't know who told you to get a used rubber belt but I would not use a rubber belt new or used on any sewing machine. The rubber belts are very hard on the motors. A proper fitting V belt is what you want.

I see a belt on Nova Montgomery's site: https://www.novamontgomery.com/shop/...sories-Etc.htm. She specializes in 221s. She gives talks and classes on 221s.
