Default My First Vintage Purchase Singer 221

Now I get to post to this section too, whoo-eee!

I just purchased a 1947 Singer 221 in great shape and working order with new belt and needle. I got it on ebay and it will be exciting when it arrives.

I'm hoping it brings good karma with it. I could use it, spending more time with a seam ripper than sewing machine lately.

My expensive "new" embroidery machine is in the shop because it won't sew a decent stitch.

I decided I wanted a reliable, lightweight, NO COMPUTER machine to piece with, and I think this will be great!

Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.

Does anyone know what the part number is for a 1/4" foot to fit it? I saw a Pfaff foot that fits at a recent quilt show but that guy wanted twice what I paid for this machine so I didn't pay much attention.
