You will be owning one of the best sewing machines ever made. Sometimes referred to as the "221 Free-Arm" by those who are not familiar with the model 222K - these Featherweight Sewing Machines were manufactured identically to the original 221 but with two additional (highly desirable!) features: Convertible Flat Bed into Tubular Bed or Free-Arm Allowing easier application of sleeves and cuffs... or any hard-to-reach seaming. Feed-Dog Lowering Lever Enabling Free-Motion Embroidery & Darning See how the feed dogs (teeth-like mechanism) can be lowered...no need to mess with covering them for buttonholes or free-motion work. Paint has been very carefully touched up around the edge of the bed extension. All 222Ks were manufactured in Scotland beginning in 1954. Their engineering and design were very labor intensive and it was later determined that manufacturing them was not as cost-effective as originally hoped. Production ceased of all 222Ks in 1961. This 222K's serial number gives a commission birthdate of August 16, 1955...53-years-old! Today, the 222K Free-Arm Featherweight is considered one of the most highly collectable and desirable Singer Sewing Machines. Collectable, yes - but certainly PRACTICAL! Oh! My! Goodness! is it ever the best machine I have ever owned. I seriously am in love with mine and definitely feel a "bond" with it. Easily convertible to aid in sewing my daugther's dress sleeves, getting around odd-shaped seams and curvatures and much, much more . . . not to mention the Free-Motion Machine Embroidery you can now so easily accomplish by dropping the feed dogs (Dropping the feed dogs is something you can not do on a traditional Featherweight 221) . Truly, you will just be amazed! Regarding the 110 Volt Motor... This 222K is U.S.A. and CANADA electrically compatible!Just plug it in and sew! Because the majority of these machines were made for United Kingdom and European 220 voltage, the motor and electrical components are not compatible in the U.S. and Canada. You would either need a converter (albeit cheaper, but not as practical, desirable or as attractive), or the better alternative, have it completely changed to accommodate our electricity. That is what has been done with this machine. Motor and it's electrical components are all replaced or electrically changed with original Featherweight parts compatible for North American electricity. All machines go through an electrical-safety inspection... of vital importance when making the upgrade, and most importantly, to have the assurance that your sewing machine is safe to "today's" electrical standards. All you have to do is plug it in and begin sewing! Cosmetically, this machine is very good and I grade it a 7 (according to scale at the very bottom of my page) . T is evidence of sewing wear and use with the superficial pin markings and the occasional rub of paint as ... read more
