My style of use doesn't require an expensive machine, altho I did spend almost $1,000 on my Juki, and I LOVE it! Guess why? Self threading needle, needle up/down, special box style feed dogs, and the very best part for me... it cuts the thread for me! My next machine was a wonderful old Kenmore that isn't computerized. Honestly, if I'd had the Kenmore first I probably would still have my $1,000 tho.
Forgot to mention that the Kenmore cost me $10 at an estate sale, and is almost new.. a beautiful machine..
Your Singer 201 is still a dream of mine...
