According to my experience with several 201s, you do not want to try to fmq with it. (And I do like 201s.) It does not do well at all and untangling the mess in the bobbin area can be difficult. Stick with the 15-91; you'll be happier. From time to time, I hear of someone who can fmq on their 201, but hundreds of times, I've known people who do quilt on their 15-91s, and/or put them on frames. The 15-91 is much better choice. Best of all for fmq, though, is the Singer 301. It has a vertical bobbin, like the 15-91, and that is important for fmq. 201s have a horizontal bobbin. 201s are fine for straight line quilting with a walking foot, but so are the other two mentioned. In my experience, 201s like only thread that is 50 weight or thinner, and most of quilting thread is 40 weight, which makes my 201s choke.
