I spotted a beautiful 201 that was for sale! The Singer 201 is in wonderful condition. It's not in a table but the wiring was sound, and the paint looked great. I have no idea what else she has to go with it but it's there if anyone wants to check it out. Freida at Sew E-Z on Airline Blvd. http://www.sewe-z.com/index.html

She had 3 featherweights sitting on a shelf. All 3 are in a case and the most expensive one was $175! I hated leaving without one!!! Dang pocket book! And I thought she might see the lump under my shirt if I tried sneaking one out of the store. LOL

Once I get my long arm set up I'll be posting about that. We have to finish the ceiling and walls with drywall before I can set it up. Hopefully that will be finished this week.
