I've been sewing on a 201 for a couple of years now. Got it in Tucson from a lady whose grandfather was a taylor. Got the second one from ebay and it went to my daughter who in the beginning was a little indignant about getting an "old" machine. The 201 is still sewing and her new plastic machines are sitting in the corner . . . still broke. I then got a 201 from Goodwill. The motor went out and I attempted to rewire it. It's still sitting on my workbench. This last one I got up north in Arizona from a man whose mother was a seamstress. It's going to my granddaughter who lives with me so I can get my 201 back. :-)

Nothing like it for hemming jeans.
Well done for doing it yourself.
