The green ones have a tire on the inside that goes flat then the machine sounds like a truck trying to pass a motorcycle on a hill. I like the next one up. Elna SU or Star or what ever mine is grayish blue and white.

I love my 99K, I have great affection for her. I just got a mocha 301 I guess I need to get her up and running from all the great comments on here. But dare I say it, sorry ,I really love my featherweight she goes everywhere with me!

The big sister to the FW the Singer 301. This one is lighter and portable but full size. Then a big one the singer 201. It is not very portable but it is awesome. That green Elna is a gem. It runs nicer then any of my Singer 301s.

I like my electric 201K best, then the 99K and have a 15 K that sews really nicely, have converted it to a Treadle but still waiting on a couple of bolts for the cabinet frame near the treadle to arrive from USA. I used a treadle Singer when I married in 1966, it was a 201 machine. But I love all my old Singers, including the FW's! They don't make today's machines to last like the oldies!

I love my 401a, it's my go-to machine especially if I'm using denim or other heavy materials. I even got a back up one just to be safe. I also have a fondness for the little 3/4 machines like the 99 and the 185.
