Caution: 221 Featherweight Owners


It is important for operators to perform periodic general cleaning and oiling on their sewing machines. In some cases this requires removing the top and bottom covers, face plate and needle plate. This allows access to areas other wise not accessible. The replacing of those items is normally the same as the removal. However on the Singer 221 Featherweight and the Singer 301 there is a caution to be concerned about.






On page 12 of most 221 manuals there is reference
to this caution. It states: "make certain when
replacing the throat plate, that the position
finger "A2" of the bottom case base enters the
notch "B2" of the position plate which is
attached on the under side of the throat plate.



Failure to follow this caution could cause serious damage to some very expensive parts located in this area.

If you are not comfortable performing this or any adjustment take your machine and control to your local dealer.
