Tell us now??...are you just delighted with that old Singer??? I sew on the Singer 201, and she will stitch till the cows come home! It is only a straight stitch, forward and reverse.. but the single needle throat plate helps me piece items that my newer machine eats the points off of...LOL It you ever have a chance to find an old Singer...201, 301, Featherweight....GRAB IT! The portable machines come in an old looking suitcase...many people at a garage or estate sale will not even bother to see if there is anything in that ugly old piece of luggage...but SURPRISE.....you just found a treasure! (If my 201 was not installed in a cabinet, I would take her everywhere I go)...but hubby bought me a nice Juki to take to classes, and she of course has some stitch variety! I do need to order the single needle throat plate for that machine to keep those hungry feed dogs at bay! LOL)
