Sewing Machine Attachment, Singer 221 Hemstitcher

There are very few attachments that make a stitch for doll clothes. The hemstitcher is that attachment and it takes some getting used to. Pratice and you get good at it, but the material used is also important. Not all material will work and the better the material the easier the hemstitcher will make the stitch. Here is a Singer 221 hemstitcher, notice the plate is different and this is the only plate that will work on the Singer 221. Be sure the hemstitcher has the two little pads on the attachment. The photos that follow will show samples of stitch and other parts with the hemstitcher. Go to www.singerfeatherweightpink.com

Singer Attachments

Singer made sewing machines from the 1800's to about 1960 that were straight stitch machines. The straight stitch machine can only do fancy stitches with the use of attachments. The attachments are still available as most have remained with the older sewing machines. We sell the attachments here at www.singerfeatherweightpink.com.
