On the Sew-Classic Workbench- Singer Featherweight 221

UPDATE-The belt is here and this little cutie is DONE!

Just waiting on a new belt to arrive to put the finishing touch on the machine in the photo...........I have another featherweight (not pictured) that had such serious finish issues that It was one of the rare candidates (IMHO) for a repaint.  It's going to be "cherry red".  I don't like to repaint machines, but I hate to see a good machine "sent out to pasture" just because of a bad finish .  Anyhow, it will be a fun machine when it's all done.  Stay tuned!

      The machine is the photo  isn't going to get repainted.  It's ANOTHER featherweight that is a canidate for that process. LOL!

    Gorgeous machine, I am new to the Featherweight. What is the main use for this machine, quilting? piecing?
    Thanks, Gwen

      Yes....great for piecing.  Due to it's small size, quilting with a featherweight is usually limited to smaller type quilts.

    Hi,I just stumbled upon your blog and am loving it! I'm actually interested in painting a sewing machine (just as a novelty, not for original restoration)but have no idea how to go about it. Any links or advice?

      I'm approaching it just like painting any other smooth, metal object (car, motorcycle, etc.).  Good prep work and the right equipment along with some practice and experience will help you get the best results.  A  trip to your local library or a google search should bring up all sorts of information.

    I agree; save the machine. By the way, does anyone know if there was centennial edition of the 301?
    Thanks!
