Meet Minnie!
My New (Old) Machine!
Minnie is a wonderful vintage Singer Featherweight.
This is a 1951 Centennial machine, 221 model,
manufactured in 1950 according to the serial number.
Included with the machine was the original case, foot control,
accessories and original manual.
The gold decals are perfect
and the the top coat has only a few minor scratches from use.
A little dust from the case cleaned right off with a soft cloth.
After a few drops of oil, she stitches like a dream!
I have wanted a vintage Featherweight for a long time.
I learned to sew on an old Singer.
I had never used a Featherweight before, but as she is a Singer,
she feels like an old (new) friend.
she feels like an old (new) friend.
We plan to make many quilts together ... :)
