Painting a Singer 221 Featherweight 1946 - What a total wreck!

This is a Vintage Singer 221 from 1946 in terrible condition. I like to rescue messes, especially vintage sewing machines, and especially Singers. Although being old, old machines, you can still find most of the parts that go wrong on a machine. Here's hoping.

Another great find! I appreciate how you assess the machines for functionality before completely dismantling them. That measured approach will always benefit you.

Thanks Jim. No reason to paint a machine unless she will be a working one. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day.

It’s amazing that she sews that cleanly when she’s in such rough shape. I keep thinking Unsinkable Molly Brown vibes

Right? Isn't that a testimony to how they were built? I imagine someone who couldn't maintain his/her machine but needed it to run. Never mind the pretty, just work for me!! Thanks so much for watching. More to come (obviously.) Be well.

She's gonna have GREAT before and after glamour shots! March on, troubadour!

I love it. Troubadour. Thanks. She will be awesome. At least that is my hope. I have done others so I have that on my side. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

I’m surprised you were able to get such a nice looking stitch given her overall condition!

@sewterie Ай бұрын

It is crazy, right? I am so excited to get started on her. And in between I will keep trying to get "Little Beast" working. Not giving up just yet. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day..

Oh she's a little banged up. But TLC from you Terie and she'll be all good.

Thanks. Let's hope. I will keep you posted. Thanks for watching.

Those stitches look 👀 good, the machine not so much but I know you can do the work to make it beautiful. Can’t wait to see what you do with this machine, thanks for sharing

loved the You Tube bit at the end Terie. I don't know how you can determine in a machine like that what is missing. what to replace and all.

Hi Denise. I think I now speak Singer lingo. lol. I love sewing on my vintage machines and I love working on these machines, as a hobby, of course. Thanks. That little bit at the end was fun, right? Anyway, thanks for watching and I hope you come back to see the rest.

Terie Ihave had my featherweight for years but I now want to pay more attention .

Come back any time. I hope you use your machine. I use one of mine almost every day or at least every time I sew. I like to switch from machine to machine depending on what I am sewing. Thanks so much for watching. Have an awesome day.
