The white motors are different from the black ones. They are a more powerful motor. We just talked with a SMG yesterday and he has been working on Singers for over 50 years. He gave DH a ton of info. which was very helpful since he has a lot of machines waiting for him when the weather gets warmer.

:mrgreen:
How interesting, because my older, black 222 stitches faster, and seems less laboured than my younger white 221. Is there anything I can do to improve it?
