Good luck on your decision:)
Thanks I just opened my 201 and I am going to try the fmq on it, I have used it for piecing and its awesome, did my 30's quilt, shown under my profile, but didn't want to ruin it, so I had a LA quilter do it. But I want to fmq my quilts myself. Thanks for the suggestion I will talk to the others using the 201.
