    A great fabric stamp for a Halloween quilt, though the seeds wouldn't print.

    I recently inherited my MIL's sewing machine and I just tried her out! She purrs like a kitten!! It's a Singer 201-3 with the Centennial label and is it a beautiful cabinet. I'm taking it tomorrow to get it cleaned and checked because I know that it hasn't been used in at least 20 yrs. I will try to post pics later. I was thinking too bad it wasn't a 301 but she really is pretty and I feel fortunate to have her.
    Anyone familiar with this model?

    Also found this one on Kijiji - anyone know what model and company it is?

    Thanks Laurie! I really do like her!! Do you have one? I noticed that the space between the throat and sewing bed is large - I can hardly wait to do a project on her! :)

    I have to go pick up my FIL in a few mintues so will post pics later this afternoon.

    I love my 201! Its a great machine, mine is a treadle/hand crank. The granddaughters like it as a hand crank.

    Charlee, did you go see your OSMG? Did they have any of the size 20 needles?

    No I don't have a 201, but I do have a 15-91. FMQ on that thing rocks! I have it in an old treadle cabinet. It is so heavy and solid that FMQ is so easy!
