Singer HEMSTITCHER/PICOT attachment 121387, PLATE 121392, Featherweight 221,tool:
$159.00

This sale features the accessory designed to produce \"excellent hemstitching and picoting on lock stitch family sewing machines.\" According to Singer\'s teacher textbook, Machine Sewing, \"for ornamenting table sets, bedspreads and linens, a hemstitch design of a contrasting color is very effective and easily made.\" Also, \"the picot edge is the logical finish for ruffled collars, sleeve flounces, cottage curtains and gay bedroom furnishings. In addition, the picot edge makes a fine foundation for hand rolled hems in chiffon, georgette or crepe de chin, permitting a professional-looking edge to be made on these flimsy materials.

This attachment is part # 121387, which makes it suitable for all low shank, side attaching vintage Singer sewing machines. However, the special plate provided in this set is part # 121392, which makes this useful only for the beloved Featherweights, class 221 machines, since the plate determines the proper operation of the attachment. Also included in this set is the original special attaching screw. And, finally, the special screwdriver # 121893 is present, which makes changing plates a breeze, and is often \"missing in action\" from these outfits.

The correct plate for the Featherweights is rare, of course, and makes this outfit hard to find. However, this version of this attachment has one more feature which is rare, which is the \"blackside\" finish on one \"arm.\" That is, part of this one is in the softly shining black color which is often called \"blackside.\" This finish was always called \"Black-Oxide\" by Singer, and was used during World War II when chrome was reserved for military use. It\'s preferred by some collectors, and gives a dramatic finish to the piece.

This accessory set is in great used condition, please examine all the pictures carefully to form your own opinion.

This box also come with other attachments which we do not know whether they are singer machine attachments or not . See pictures for details.

The instruction booklet, (Rev. 242), meaning it was revised in February of 1942, is complete, and in GOOD used condition. but it\'s complete and very readable. The authentic Singer cardboard storage box is discolored but still in good condition.

This attachment would be great to complete a collection of accessories, or for the sewer who loves sewing.
