Sewing Machine Thread Stand for 221 and 222 Models, Stainless Steel and Aluminum for Overhead Thread Feeding
This sewing machine thread stand guides thread overhead so modern spools and large cones can feed more smoothly into your vintage machine. Designed specifically for Singer Featherweight 221 and 222 models, it supports standard spools, cross-wound spools and large cones without relying solely on the machine's small vertical spool pin.
The stainless steel and aluminum stand slips into the oil hole at the top left of the machine's harp. A secondary thread hole helps maintain the thread path, while a nylon washer protects the machine's finish. When sewing is finished, the stand removes easily for storage in your Featherweight case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sewing machines does this thread stand fit?
This thread stand fits Singer Featherweight 221 and 222 sewing machines. It mounts in the oil hole at the top left of the harp and is not compatible with other Singer models.
Can I use large cones and cross-wound spools?
Yes, this thread stand supports large cones, cross-wound spools and standard spools. For larger cones, adjust its front-to-back position to suit the thread path from your table setup.
How do I thread the stand?
Pass the thread through the large loop at the top of the stand, then through the base of the shaft. Continue to the first thread guide on your sewing machine.
Can the stand stay with my machine during storage?
The thread stand removes easily and fits inside a Featherweight case for storage after sewing.
What if the thread stand fits too tightly or loosely?
The thread stand's base may need a small adjustment because individual Featherweight machines can vary. For a snug fit, gently adjust the base with a nail file or 100-grit sandpaper; for a loose fit, use heat-shrink rubber tubing to add stability.
