Question about Singer Featherweight 222K - Free Arm
I already own a Singer Featherweight 221 and have just acquired a Featherweight 222K-free arm. It came from a well known man who buys, sells and services vintage Singer sewing machines in my area of Florida. Through unusual circumstances I now have a 222 free arm Featherweight from him. He indicated that it had been completely serviced and was ready to use. I didn't get to "play" with it at the time I picked it up, because there was another customer at his home at the time.
This machine came with all the accessories, including the manual and the original case.
While playing with it in my sewing room, I've discovered that this little Featherweight is a LOT noiser that my 221.
My question is to anyone here that owns both a 221 and a 222 Singer - and is there a difference is the amount of noise from stitching?
Thank you for your help. I do know that I can call the seller and he will be glad to go over the machine again - but I just want to ask here first. Jennie
