Singer Featherweight 221 222 Sewing Machine NEW BELT

 

FREE SHIPPING!!!
Credit Cards Now Accepted
Visa ~ Mastercard ~ Discover 

This auction is for one reproduction high-quality soft and pliable belt for the Singer Featherweight 221 and 222K Sewing Machine.  My husband and I have done numerous tests on various reproduction belts and most of them are poor quality despite their nice appearance.  They have a 'plastic' feel to them and are, quite frankly, too thick, stiff and often-times will just spin on the pulley.

However, with that said, we have become quite satisfied with the quality of these belts that we are offering.  Please let us know what you think as well ~ we encourage you to e-mail us with your results.

On the other hand, before you get excited about there finally being a good replacement belt available... a lot of the vintage original belts are still going strong and may not need replacing at all.  So, definitely check your belt carefully. 
"If it isn't broke - don't fix it."

This listing is for one belt only.  If you would like to purchase more than one, just indicate how many when you click on the 'buy it now' button.

Dear Friends of the Needle,

....We are friends because we all know one thing in common, that is, the joy of the needle, that little one-eyed help-meet, that will act as a vent for all those artistic feelings that demand outlet and expression in the form of making and doing things.

What a big family we are, all wielders of the little sewing needle, the knitting needle, the crochet hook and the machine needle in its multiplicity of forms, from the very fine one that will sew the gossamer frock of the little girl’s fancy dress, to the heirloom quilt, to the sturdy member that sews our leather gloves and shoes. Truly, they are one-eyed helpmeets that have added to our comforts and helped us to make progress through this busy world.

But if the machine needles had not been harnessed to good reliable instruments, so that they could work in the quickest and neatest way, they could not have done so much good, and that is why we, as needle workers, are grateful to the age-old Sewing Machine Companies for giving us that vintage instrument and in turn, giving it a beautiful setting with which to work.

We also have to be thankful for the vintage service of instruction, so that even those with basic knowledge can be taught how to make the most of their machine and its wonderful attachments.

Now you have the privilege of purchasing vintage books and instruction on how to make, mend and design, with professional tips, all of which would cost a large sum if you took lessons in the ordinary way. Here you have the written word that remains, as well as illustrations and diagrams making every point clear. It is my privilege to impart some of that knowledge to you and it is a joy to know from your letters that it has helped women in some of the loneliest corners of the world. The word “Sewing” and all it conveys is beyond description in this limited space.

My special message to you is - be a Singer Sewer and your troubles are o'er. You can have pretty, smart frocks, dainty underwear, house-linen, and little Jack and Mary can be well and comfortably dressed without encroaching too much on the family exchequer.

If you want any information on machines or obtaining service for your machine, please write to me through my page and I will assist you.

In the meantime, I am going forth to continue the good work of gratifying more friends of theneedle.

As Always - Your Stitchery Friend,

April

I look forward to becoming Your Stitchery Friend... I am most grateful for your bids and purchases.
