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.

Thanks for posting info about this great shop. Wish it wasn't so totally out of my area...which is usually the case with all the good stores!! Do you know if they ship? Also, I didn't see but one machine listed in the Used Machines section and it was a newer Janome. Thanks again!!
