The Singer model 222k Made in Great Britain.

This beautiful machine was the result of months of design work by some of the finest engineers in the sewing world. The result was one of the best sewing machines of all time. Still popular amongst professionals and perfectionists alike the model 222 has been referred to as the Queen of Singers.

The Singer 222k, perfection in a sewing machine

Made in limited numbers compared to her older sister the model 221 she is rare and sought after and may go down in history as the finest Singer ever produced.

The basic difference between the 221 and the 222 is the free-arm sleeve and the drop feed lever. Both machines are similar and make perfect stitches when set correctly.

They have become collector-classics with almost every part still available or being made they will probably last forever.
