I keep my Singer 201 set up with the walking foot, the Singer 15-91 with the darning foot or FMQ foot and the FW and both 301s I use for piecing.
I haven't found any 15-91s here in the UK, though it was on my list of possibles. The 301 wasn't sold in Europe, so I settled for a 201, which I haven't had for very long. My first attempts at FMQ on it weren't too successful - King Tut thread wouldn't go through the tension discs, which is one of the problems with my Janome. But I must do some more work with the 201, as if I could get it FMQing, rather than buying a new machine, my bank balance would be very happy!
