Description / Singer Featherweight Card Table | 42 Inch Extended | 221-301
These popular tables are custom-made per order. Please expect 4-8 weeks for shipping from Nothern Indiana.
The Featherweight table may also be ordered for the 301 long or short bed machines. Then you can use a 221 or a short bed 301 in a long bed table by simply sliding them to the left. Use all three machines in the same table! A Featherweight collector's dream come true. Click Here to see our 30" standard reproduction Featherweight table.
The cut-out for the 221 size machine measures 15-1/2 long and 7-3/8 wide with a taper down to 7" wide the last 4-1/2" where the bobbin lid fits. This section is then extended to 16-1/2" to fit the 301 short or 19-1/2" for the 301 long bed machines if ordered this way.
Both cutouts have the notch out for the electrical plugs for either machine including the 301 top and bottom plugs if equipped.
Customers have told us that they are also using 222, 201, and 414G machines in their tables. Just measure the length of the machine to see which model you will need if using one of these machines. If you have a 222 please measure the height closely and let us know if we need to modify the table as the 222 can measure as much as 1/2" taller than the 221. We can add 1/2" to the tray depth and then send you a 1/2 panel to use a 221 or your 222 machines. This modification will add $20.
When the table is made for the 301 it will not have the finger hole cut out like the 221 to lift for bobbin changes. This is not a problem as the 301 has the finger hole cut into the bobbin cover. The 221 can also slide to the right for more access.
Use the drop-down box under available options to select the type of table you need. Select your largest machine. In other words, if you just have a 221 select the 221. If you also want to use a 301 short or long bed in the same table, select either one of those sizes. The 221 will then also work on the same 301 table.
The small Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machines were produced from the 1930s all the way up to the 1960s. They are as popular today as they were in the early years because of their portability.
The classic Featherweight folding table was sold to accommodate this portability and is still a favorite with today’s quiltmakers to set up at home and quilt shows to use their Featherweight machines.
It is also a popular table for those living in small apartments since it can be folded and stored in a closet or behind a door.
Our reproduction Featherweight table is Amish handcrafted in cherry using a multi-layer 3/4" cabinet grade plywood cherry veneer top banded on the sides with solid 3/4" cherry hardwood. This construction will likely outlive the original Featherweight tables. In order to produce the 42” table, our Amish craftsman can only obtain two tabletops from one sheet of plywood instead of three for the standard 30” table. Hence, the additional cost. In the long run, this extended width is well worth the additional cost.
Our table was designed from an original 30 x 30 Featherweight table. The extended table measures 42 x 30 x 27-1/4 tall.
We were a bit surprised by the original table weight and its popularity. When we took on this task, we expected to find a lightweight card table. After working with an original table, we understand they were built to withstand hard use.
We have tried both American and European-made Featherweight 221 models in the table.
Please let us know if you have one of the early 1930s Featherweight models. These rare early featherweight machines used a slightly different bobbin winder than the ones built later as pictured.
We searched high and low for sturdy folding legs for the reproduction model and were just not happy with the earlier prototypes using card table leg brackets. The table just had too much wobble for a sewing machine worktable.
We settled on heavy-duty metal folding table legs made for much larger game tables:
These legs have stabilizer angle brackets and a positive lock system to keep them in place much like the original legs.
We especially liked the heavy-duty corner brackets used on the folding legs as they add additional support for the corners.
These sturdy folding legs are a perfect match for our reproduction Featherweight table.
The legs are extremely sturdy with no wobble.
The original Featherweight tables came with an insert so the table could be used as an extra card table which was popular in this period. For collectors finding an original insert with matching serial numbers is a prized possession.
For a reproduction table to be used for sewing we decided some would just rather not have the extra cost for something they did not plan to use. With this thought, we have made the insert an optional item that may be selected using the drop-down box at the bottom of the page.
The insert is precision cut to match the wood grain and to provide as few gaps as possible to use the solid surface for other uses.
The table ships UPS dimensional weight. The actual table weight for transport is approximately 24 lbs.
Sorry, the Singer 221 and the 301 pictured are not included! Liz
Order our optional heavy-duty travel bag using the drop-down box at the bottom of the page to protect your new table. Amish made of heavy-duty Naugahyde with heavy metal zipper and full wrap-around carrying handle to support the bottom. Made oversized for the 42" table.
You may also select a matching travel/storage bag for the Featherweight Sewing machine. The soft side case features two inside pockets for foot control and a manual.

I purchased the 42" extended table for my 301A long bed and I couldn't be happier. The table is very solid and I love the extra space to spread out my projects. I just placed an order for another table for my other 301 long bed.

"I ordered the Singer Featherweight Folding extended table customized in width and height so it could use it to extend my dining room table. It is PERFECT in every way...strong, not wobbly, very good looking, extremely well made and the right dimensions for my use. I am very pleased and would highly recommend Cottage Craft Works.
