Sure is! Complete with some threads in it.

The 201 is a long way from anything. the electrical stuff is a mess. I was hoping for the best with a machine in a cabinet so nice. Nope.

I have a few parts lists and still haven't found part number 161585. I have a "modern day" one but how it attaches to presser bar over the presser foot is shaped differently. I am one that likes the thread cutter on my machines and miss it if it is not there.

I think there may be a couple of tips (in the second picture, underneath the quilting bar ) for the tools that would be used to make the old punched rugs or seat covers made with narrow wool strips.

Smithsonian has the pdf for the Greist attachments. I'm not real good with links but believe this might get you to the pdf -- http://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollect.../sil10-215.pdf

Have fun & enjoy the 201.
