Doing the Happy Dance! Bought another old Singer!!
#1
I have just bought a Singer 201K off ebay for $90! I learnt to sew on my Mum's 201K back in the early 60's, and still remember how quiet it was, it just purred along. Now I have my 3 wish- list Singers- 221K, 222K FW's and 201K. All within the last 5 days. I will be eagerly awaiting their arrival by post. I will post photos once they arrive.
Now I have to give them names, better than the names I give my electronic machines when they won't co operate, especially the Viking SE. lol!

I recently bought a Singer 201-3 as well and I love it. There is no more complaining, growling or bunching as from my Janome 6500 when I try to replace heavy duty zippers in DH's brown duck coveralls. I just finished quilting a scrap quilt using a walking foot and the stitches were much more even than on my Janome. Now I want to try FM with it as the feed dogs will drop on this machine. It just seems so much more powerful than my Janome 6500 and the harp space allowed me to quilt my queen sized quilt.
