The singer 201 is a workhorse. I have a friend who relied on hers to make stuffed animals for about 50 years. It finally died and she got another. It is sturdy and quite heavy, unlike the Featherweight. But it will sew through just about anything. You will want to take it in for a "check up" when it comes. Have fun!

Great find! And all the other posts on this thread helped me appreciate my little heavy Singer. Paid $139. with a plastic case. it's the one I have lent out, won'd lend my Viking Daisy !! Thanks everyone, for all the great input on this.

Congratulations! I became the proud owner of a 201 a few weeks ago. Haven't had time, or the bobbins, to get to grips with it yet, but the bobbins should be arriving via a friend in the States any day now. My hope is that it will do FMQ without all the temper tantrums thrown by my modern Janome.
The 201 is also very useful if you fancy taking up weightlifting (-: That is one heavy machine! It took me a while to get it up my 2 flights of stairs.
