The Yellow Singer Featherweight 221 is a truly stunning glossy yellow finish that shines like ceramic. Its compact, design makes it ideal for quilters, seamstresses, or anyone learning to sew who wants a reliable, machine. Every Featherweight is carefully disassembled, painted, and reassembled by hand, ensuring not only a beautiful appearance but also smooth, dependable performance. The finish is polished to a high-gloss luster, giving the machine a ceramic-like shine that’s both eye-catching and durable. The is one issue when I installed the tail plate it was to close to the end of the machine and when I lifted it up to put the machine in the case it caused a chip on the back of the machine. I tried to fix the chip and I didn't like how it came out so I am, I have a picture of the machine with the problem and how I would fix it if I wanted the machine. Like a lot of the ladies that sew I see them put tape on the machine for a guide for the material. That is what I did is put a peace of tape on the issue where the issue is and it looks great. If want a beautiful little restored singer featherweight and because I usually get around $2495. for this quality of powder coat finish, you can have a great buy on this one.
