  • Why is oil important for a Singer Featherweight sewing machine?
  • Oil is a necessary element for the proper functioning of your Singer Featherweight Sewing Machine. It lubricates the parts for smoother operation, prevents corrosion, and helps to prevent any wear and tear. This can help extend the life of your sewing machine and keep it running at its best.
  • What oil should I use on my Singer Featherweight?
  • For your Singer Featherweight 221, you want to use Sew-Retro Sewing Machine Oil only. Triflow oil can also be used as an exception. Do not use 3-in-1 oil or WD-40. Ensure your sewing machine oil is fairly new and not discolored to prevent varnishing.
  • How to maintain a Singer Featherweight sewing machine?

Routine oiling can help keep the machine in good condition and running smoothly. Quality oil should be used, and it should be well distributed in the parts to ensure maximum efficiency.
  • How do you oil a Singer Featherweight sewing machine?
  • Avoid any oil buildup on the outside of the machine and make sure not to oil the power cord.

This helps to spread the oil to the inner parts of the machine.

  • The machine (model 221), adapted from an earlier portable, weighs about 11 pounds and has been found to be an ideal machine for quilters and other sewers to take to classes or "on location." Very quiet and sturdily made with all-metal parts (mostly aluminum), the Featherweight sews only straight stitches but it sews them very well.
