Description
Bobbin Case, Singer 221, 222, 301
High Quality, TOWA manufacturer
Tested for fit and clearance. Please note that the Japanese cases have extremely close tolerances and can sometimes not fit some 221/222/301 machines. Please see this post for more information: https://archaicarcane.com/never-know-unless-you-give-it-a-try-replacement-featherweight-bobbin-cases/ or at least read this excerpt:
“Whether this case fits seems to depend heavily on the bobbin base the machine came with. (45926, 45752, or 170168 – all seem to have the same issue but some do and some don’t. i.e. of the two 45926 bobbin bases that I one have won’t fit this case and one does.) It only fit my 221s. The 222K and the 301 I couldn’t even install the case. This isn’t a universal rule. This case will fit some 301s, some 222s and some 221s. But not all of them. It seems to depend on tolerances that are bigger on some bobbin bases than on others. Perhaps from wear. If it’s not going to work, it will likely get stuck before it seats. It -can- seat if you’re a little forceful with it (not recommended!) but it will be a bear to get back apart. This is how (too) tight the tolerances are on this case. ”
This case has been cleaned of the shipping oil, adjusted and test sewn. It’s the Japanese case used in the blog post.
This case is a Final Sale as it’s not an item I intend to carry going forward.
