I just picked up a featherweight today. Need HELP!!!!! I did not get a book with it. The only number I can find is AH657817 It seems to be in really good shape. The guy I bought it off of new nothing about it. How does the needle go in? The thread grove facing me or out on the left side. I can't get it to pull up the bobbin thread. She seems in really good shape other then that. Where can I get a book? That would help alot. I can't wait to get it running.

Congratulations on your new featherweight!! Do you have a picture of her?
Your FW was made in 1948. I’m not sure what date though. You might like this website about Singers http://singerfeatherweight221.blogsp...herweight.html You can also call Singer 1-800-4-SINGER to find out how old your Singer is, just give them the serial #.
The flat part of the needle faces left and you thread right to left. I think the needle goes in differently for FW’s made in other countires. I can’t remember where you can get manuals but there IS a place to get them (mine came with one.) As soon as I find out I’ll let you know. Someone else may be able to help you. You can also call

Thanks so much for your Help. It was much appreciated. With your help we got it running. It purrs like a kitten. My DH found this on craigs list and we went today to pick it up. I am so proud of him, he is so sweet. I will try to get a book later when I can get a model #. It just has a serial #. It looks like new as you can see it hasn't bin used hard. I think I will call her muffin.
