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.
