I see two different model numbers sometimes: 221 and 222. Does anyone know the difference?
Can I use something like a walking foot or other feet on a Featherweight? I love the stitch it makes and would really like to try quilting pieces using it.

As far as I know you can't use a walking foot on them. They are strictly straight stitch machines and you can not drop the feed dogs as far as I know. Maybe someone else has an answer.
