Good question. I don't have my 201 back from the shop yet... but, I understand that Cindy over at Sew-Classic has different aftermarket emboidery/FMQ feet that will work on the different vintage machines. I don't know which ones particularly. Some people use the OEM Singer darning feet (low shank - vintage parts). Some use the newer 'hopping' plastic feet, but I believe I've heard that not all the feet work well with the various low shank vintage machines.
You might also do a Search on here. The VSMS (Vintage Sewing Machine Shoppe) group has a lot of knowledge. If you haven't already posed the question to the VSMS, you should.
