Singer 201k handcrank
#12
Welcome to the Quilt Board Gray fox!
Just out of curiosity, is your case a snap-on type case that looks kinda like mine?
I have my 1948 Singer 201K4 in it, but I think that the case is a more recent vintage than 1948. I've been trying to figure out what machine may have originally come in my case. It was empty when I got it.

Thank you for the welcome, ThayerRags. Your machine is beautiful! Mine has no lid, sadly, and I haven't been looking but will start now. On both ends of the base there is a 'D' shaped connection device, with a 'D' shaped opening -- hadn't noticed before how symmetrically that was designed. The curved part of the 'D' faces downward. No moving parts, just a metal piece with an opening. Is that how your lid attaches?

Gray Fox,
I really like your quilt so far. I have a 1936 Singer 201K hand crank, I like to treadle it, easier on my shoulder.
Yours is prettier, love the 2 tone color scheme.
monopas,
Its easy to sew with the hand crank. Its really not as bad as one would think.

The machine is one of two hand crank machines setting ready for my wife to use during a power outage if she wants to (the other one is a Singer 216G that zigzags). It takes the same class 66 bobbin as her go-to machine (Singer 401A), so if she’s working on something that requires a straight stitch, she can set the 201 up in front of the window where the light comes in good enough to see, and transfer her thread and bobbin out of her 401A to complete or continue a project while waiting for the power to come back on.

I have looked on in enjoying awe of the quilts you've shown, too.
