I have a 201-2, birthdate April, 1946. I have had 'her' since 1957. Here is what I have learned. Most of the FW attachments will fit the 201-2 because it is a low-shank machine. How do I know this, because I 'adopted' a 222 FW earlier this year after considerable research. My free-arm is a 1960 and all the attachments I have tried on the 222 I have tried on the 201-2. Maybe there is a 201 Fanatics group like there is for the FW's. Just start Googling for 201-2 Singer attachments. There is a website, www.singeroriginalvintageproducts.com The fellow's name is Duane. I know others will certainly repond to your questions and need. Libber

I have a 301-A that I brought home one day, it did need some bobbins, etc. I just went to the Singer website, and typed in the part I needed, there are tons of places you can get anything you want online, I was able to download the users manual for another machine I have.

She will be at dealer's probably a week since a tune-up and if necessary re-wiring, were part of the purchase price!

Now for the bad part. She only has a zipper foot and 1 bobbin.
Any suggestions on where to get the rest of her attachments? I'm pretty sure she takes a class 15 bobbin, probably the metal ones, but do they need to be vintage ones or are the new ones ok?
Sorry for the many questions, but I am very excited and don't want to break my new toy!

Hi there!!! I live in Warrensburg MO, and my friend in LaMonte( to the East from me) Owns a quilt stor and her hubby Services Singers! He helped me restore and get my "Baby" up and running and I think he may be able to help you with parts.... the name of the place is Patches Place on highway 50. Lamonte Mo... the # for the shop is 660-347-5150... hope this helps :thumbup:
