I just found out that my Mother's sewing machine was a 101. I got the service manual via EBay, and we are going to spruce her up again. It is in its original cabinet. I vaguely remember using it almost 40 years ago to make Halloween costumes. Eventually, it was relegated to the basement. Fortunately, it was not thrown out. I began quilting about 5 years ago, and will see how she does with piecing, etc. I also recently purchased a 301.
