Thank you for the warm welcome! I have a 201-2 as well but she (and her cabinet) need to be fixed up a little before I can use her so currently sits in a corner looking pitiful. I also have a 301a, a rather heavy Japanese zig-zag (maybe a White clone?, was gifted to me by my parents but they didn't have a manual for it), and now a Kenmore 159.262. I'm going to Iowa State here in Ames and am enjoying living here so far.

Hello and welcome from an Iowa Girl! I'm am ISU drop out! MrOK and I left to start farming almost 50 years ago. We do have 4 ISU grads in the immediate family and the first GS is headed there this fall. Great school, beautiful campus.

Welcome from western Iowa but only about 65 miles from you where you go to school. Ames has a nice fabric shop called Quilting Connections you might want to check out once they're opened completely. Right now they're open for a short number of hours a day until this virus stuff goes away.........if ever. I started sewing on a Singer 401 or 501 slant machine then bought an Elna 62SU which I'm still kicking myself for selling when I bought my 1st embroidery machine. Wasn't into quilting then but am now. Hope to read more of what you're up to now that you've found our little site.
Also I lived in Florida for 30 yrs before moving up to western Iowa and I've never looked back. Love it here in Iowa.
