Well now, I have a line on a singer 201k23. Its the brown/biege color.
Simple, easy to use, hard to break and a great stitcher. Perfect for the wife's quilting since she doesn't get along with any machine. If there's a way to break it just by using it, she's your girl.
Ive never had one, but my understanding is the 201 is the proverbial stone Axe of electric 201's. Aluminum case body iirc, but thats just fine for her.
The kicker?
20 bucks.
I hope its in decent enough shape when I go look at it and that the seller hasn't called it a 201 incorrectly.
