Now for the bad part. She only has a zipper foot and 1 bobbin.
Any suggestions on where to get the rest of her attachments? I'm pretty sure she takes a class 15 bobbin, probably the metal ones, but do they need to be vintage ones or are the new ones ok?
Sorry for the many questions, but I am very excited and don't want to break my new toy!

The 201-2 is a wonderful sewing machine. I have 3 of them. They use short shank attachments. I bought a walking foot for mine from Jenny at Sew-classic.com. I've never had any problems using the new bobbins.

Congratulations!! I just bought a 201K treadle the other day, and from what I've learned, we are VERY lucky to have found these precious machines. They were considered top of the line, cream of the crop at the time. Enjoy her lots! :thumbup:

I can gift you the attachments that came with my 201. I never use anything but the walking foot I bought from Singer! The bobbins can be purchased at joAnns.

you can get the bobbins in clear plastic at joann's really inexpensively. low shank feet are everywhere. the machine only goes forward and backward probably, so you don't need any fancy feet.
