{"product_id":"preloved-singer-222k-feather-weight-sewing-machine","title":"Preloved Singer 222K Featherweight Sewing Machine","description":"\u003cp\u003eOwn a genuine piece of sewing history. The Singer 222K Featherweight is one of the most sought-after portable sewing machines ever made. It was built in Singer's Kilbowie factory in Clydebank, Scotland, between 1953 and 1961. Only around 110,000 were produced, so it's far rarer than its better-known sibling, the Singer 221. Collectors, quilters and sewists all prize it for its smooth, precise straight stitch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree-arm capability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike the 221, the 222K has a removable bed extension held on by a thumbscrew.
