The 201 is also very useful if you fancy taking up weightlifting (-: That is one heavy machine! It took me a while to get it up my 2 flights of stairs.
I've not been able to do FMQ with my 201K, it does do straight line quilting just fine though. I use my Singer 15k for FMQ, it does it without a hiccup(both of my machines are treadles).
