I have a 1939 Singer 201 that I bought at an auction for $20 about 15 years ago. I didn't use it for a long time because I didn't think it worked. Turns out, I was threading the needle incorrectly. Now it is my favorite machine. I would recommend the 201, or a Singer 15-91 for powering through those heavy seams.
