These new Featherweight belts are much softer and pliable, allowing the motor to run faster with less resistance. Because these belts allow the machines to work more efficiently, the motors are under less strain with normal sewing. This will extend the life of your 221 & 222K Featherweight motor. Replaces the 194144 belt. This is another quality product from the Featherweight Shop!
The Superbelt is available in your choice of black or translucent - The 'translucent white' has a pale butter colored hue which I think is a nice compliment to the gold decals as seen installed on my 222K.
Update! One of the advantages to the Superbelt is its superb grip to the hand wheel. In the two years of testing, though, it has been discovered that there are a few hand wheels that may have a slight variation in their original manufacturing, and because the belt grips so well, it is possible that this will cause the belt to climb slightly to one side. But with a very simple remedy, your belt will be situated right where it should be!
So, on the rare occasion that the Superbelt grips extra firmly to the side of the Featherweight hand wheel, rubbing a very, very minuscule amount of cornstarch around the belt surface will actually prevent this from happening. Cornstarch will not hurt your machine, and it truly is such a tiny amount that when it is rubbed around the belt surface, it disperses evenly, allowing the belt to retain its cosmetic appearance.
Important message:
With a heavy heart, we will be temporarily restricting orders from the USA due to tariffs and subsequent importation restrictions that came into effect on Aug 29.
As many of you know, we are located just North of the border in Canada. For many years we have personally transported product across the border to offer our valued US based customers a seamless shipping experience. But due to the suspension of section 321 on Aug 29 (the de minimis exemption allowed parcels under $800 to be imported into the USA duty free with minimal paperwork), we are no longer able to transport our parcels through the US border without additional paperwork and the required permits. This will take time to process, but how long is completely unknown at this time. So unfortunately we will need to temporarily restrict US orders at this time, but we hope to welcome you back soon!
