My choices are: A 401a, a 15-91 or a 201-2. All are in cabinets. All are in good condition. All come with the designated attachments. I like the look of the 401a. I like the cabinet that the 15-91 sits in. The 201-2 needs a new cord, which is easy to get and fix. Are the cabinets interchangeable?
If given this opportunity, which one would you choose and why?
Dande,
Oh what torture a choice like that would be ......
Well, since we already have all three, here goes ..........
We use our 201-2 for quilting and working on large things that need straight stitch only. It has the largest space under the arch, and no motor hanging off the back to get in the way.
We use our 15-91 very little. It does the same job as the 201-2 but has less space under the arch.
It's a good machine for FMQ or so I've read here on the QB.
The one we use the most is our 401a. It will do a great straight stitch plus many other functional and decorative stitches.
So, if we didn't have the ones we have and were given this choice, here is my choices:
1 = 401a; an excellent machine that can do most anything anyone needs done.
2 = 201-2; a great straight stitcher that wont stop when it hits a bump or two.
3 = 15-91; if I did FMQ'ing this one would be #1. Otherwise it won't do anything the 201 wont do.
