My mother purchased a 201 model in 1941 (Just before the war started) Singer gave free lessons, and she made me take them..(I was 11 at the time) We were able to purchase extra pieces at the Singer Store... (I later worked for them, as a teacher, in 1954, in the Tremont Ave Store, Bronx, N.Y.) Your Singer store should be able to get other feet, and anything else you would wish. My main machine now is a Singer 319W...and I love it, even though I have a total of 7 machines,(mostly Singer) A Husquevarna, a serger, along with other toys, like 2 treadle machines, (one very old, made in Germany) and pleating machine.. you can see, I like my 'toys'...
