Billy or someone can you explain that last statement? What made the 201 so special? Does the 201 say 201 on the arm so if I find one I will know it is a 201?

Hi Nancy, As I was reading the manual for the 9W, (page 5 in part 2) it talks about adjusting the feed dog and how to raise and lower it. Not sure if it would lower enough to FMQ but would be cool if it did.
