Singer 201
Thanks so much for the help I received from members concerning my mom's vintage Singer 201. I got it going and it sews a beautiful stitch and the motor is so quiet. It sews better than my $1000 Bernina Activa 230. Those new machines will never last as long as the old ones. My 201 is 72 years old. I just love her. I think I'll name her Peg after my mom.

Granny: I have been looking for a featherweight 201 for a while. Any suggestions as to where I should look and what price I might look for. I am a senior on a limited income. I have a Janome 3125 that they do not make any more. It weighs about 11 pounds. I have only been quilting for three years. My first quilt was entirely by hand, Log Cabin, but since I have moved to Stockton I have been machine piecing and hand quilting. I take quilting classes at Joann's with a wonderful teacher, Kristi. She allows the class to make their own quilts. I have been designing my own, and I drive her crazy. I have grey hair, but I am giving her a few. You can e mail me at [email protected] if you have any suggestions. Thanks Lois
