It doesn't look like a 201, I am so confused!! lol

Apparently, they take old Singer 201 machines and extend the throat out to make it into a longarm. Here's a link to their site that will explain more - http://www.wowquilts.com/machines.htm
Same machine and table except I bought mine used from an individual. Here's a link to their older pages I think. It highlights the model I have which I think is Model IV. Mine has an 18" throat. http://www.wowquilts.com/page_one.htm

No, the original machine is made by Singer. A Singer 201. The WOW Quilting company takes them and "stretches" them into a longarm. Fantastic machine with a longer throat. Best of both worlds, and a great starter machine for me. Here's a link to some pics on their site that will explain more... http://www.wowquilts.com/page_one.htm
