SINGER made the Model 221 Featherweight Sewing Machine. Everyone knows that. But have you ever wondered about who the actual person was that first designed it? Have you ever wondered who came up with all the design changes that eventually became the Singer featherweight that we know and enjoy today? This book tells all.

The reason for this book was the recurring gossip and speculation that the Standard Sewhandy machine was the basis of the SINGER 221 Featherweight. After many months of research, I realized that documenting the Sewhandy would take more than 500 pages; I have published before the Featherweight - Sewhandy in two volumes. This book, Volume 1, details before the design (early 1920's) thru production end (late 1938) of the Sewhandy, patents, model identification, Sewhandy ads and brochures, & an OSANN SINGER Sewhandy versus SINGER Featherweight sew-off.The companion book, Volume 2, covers maintenance & repair of all Sewhandy models, mechanical and electrical operation, advice on buying, restoring, shipping, parts, model identification, & a specification comparison of an OSANN SINGER Sewhandy with a SINGER 221 Featherweight.

The essays in this book approach this critical set of problems from an economic perspective.
