I am not sure yet as I haven't used them. My hubby uses the Feather Weight and I just got a 15-91 electric. We also bought another model 15 that was made in England and has the out side motor. We want to put it on a treadle. I have been looking for a treadle but not found the right one yet. I am interested in a 201 but seen only electric. Now you all have my curiosity perked about the 301. Maybe if I find an affordable 99 Spartan I need that one too. LOL

I am going to see if I can find a fixer upper FW to repaint myself. Not that I would ever use it, according to some around here (which shall remain nameless) I have a serious aversion to electrical cords :mrgreen:

I love my feather weight, also love my 301, 401 and 500 as well. If I had to pick just one? I can't. DH also got me a 99 on ebay, so after playing with it I might even love it too. Just love them all. Those old vintage singers are really work horses. I really like that the feather weight and 301 are portable. So I guess to answer your question, I prefer any of those old Singers.

I have a Featherweight and a 128-23. I would love to have a red Featherweight and that is my goal right now. They are just so cute. I already have her name picked - "Ruby Jewel 2". My red car (Toyota Venza) is the original Ruby Jewel.

Hey redpurselady, that's so cool, my featherweights name is "Ruby" also, though she is not red either. I love her so much that I just purchased a second one, and it should be arriving any day now. I don't want to say what her name is going to be until I get her safely, I don't want to jinx her arrival....What is it with this obsession I'm getting to these little gems?????
