I treadle both of mine and the 201 is much quieter than the 15. I like the 201k for piecing, the 15-90k(had a motorectomy) I like it better for Free motion quilting.
My 1936 Singer 201K was an original hand cranked machine, that soon became a treadle after I wound the first bobbin. I didn't like it when I first got it as the tension assembly would fall off and fall apart after about 10 minutes of sewing. I later found out that the screw that holds it all on from the back wasn't an original Singer screw and was too short. Now that my OSMG has provided me with the correct screw, its my favorite treadle machine.
