Actually, Today's Special on HSN is a Singer "Electronic" Featherweight. It is going for about $300. I like my old girl though. :)

Congrats on such a great deal!

Congratulations! I know you'll enjoy it. I've never sewed on a Featherweight, but I've heard about them all my life (I'm fifty). I think my Grandmother had an antique one, but I'm not sure. I think my aunt probably has it now. I should ask her.

They had them on HSN last night for $299.00, I think- they said they were around $400.00 normally. For $12.50, I think it would be OK- too bad when they started making Singer's out of plastic parts.

It has the Singer name on it also.It could be a reproduction,but if it is it's sure a good one

these machines are not to be confused with real,vintage Singer 221, Featherweights. 221 production stopped in 1960 or 64. NONE were made after that. the new company making these has bought the Singer name. these are white, I think. there are white 221, but so different from these. check out some Featherweight sites, please. no comparison in quality.
