Stopped in at my Baby Lock dealer to pick up some supplies... This was not on my list but... How could I resist?
She will be at dealer's probably a week since a tune-up and if necessary re-wiring, were part of the purchase price!

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!

She is a beauty.

is she a singer 99?

pretty cool-I would like one too follow me home too

No, she is a Centennial model 201-2 I have seen the model written both as 201 and 201K Not sure which is correct or rather, more correct

Sweet!!

AWESOME, she is beautiful..... lucky you.

very nice...
send a PM to Billy...Lostn51
he's a member here...about the parts

Ooooh good idea! Thanks!
I hadnt even thought about PMing anyone to ask...

She's a real beauty.

Takes a class 66 bobbin. Uses short shank attachments, so you can get them all day long on eBay.

So cool! Happy dance for you!!!

And post her picture here. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-103494-1.htm The Vintage Shoppe loves pictures . The 201 is a favorite. She's very pretty and apparently, a very useful machine.

Pretty, shiny, likey! I think the K means made in Scotland.

beautiful sewing machine and I am so happy she followed you home

What a beauty. Congrats on your new baby.

Very nice you will love sewing on her.

Ummm... That link goes to a weight loss challenge... If I list her, will she become a Featherweight someday?

lol - good one!!!!! Congrats on new 'baby'!! I was very happy with my $5 Singer 501 find too. The new bobbins fit her fine.

Reminds me of one my Mother had when I was growing up. Remember thinking she was sewing on a toy machine !!!
That shows my age ........

Ah thank you! Now to find where to get those!

She is a pretty snazzy lookin' model. You will just love her. Not sure about bobbins, but Billy will know.

She sure is a beaut. Be good to her or she can come live with me.

Just like a puppy, they follow you home, leave a mess behind them, (scraps, threads,) you have to pick up after them, (pins and pieces,) you need to feed them, (oil,) give them love and affection, and protect them, (NO, you may NOT borrow my 201.)

Congratulations mom.

those sewing machines have a habit of following me home too. very nice.

Beautiful!!! My DDIL just informed me her mother still has her Singer from the 50's or earlier. She no longer sews, is 85 and in waning health, so I expressed a desire to have the machine if it ever leaves that house. Don't know where I will put it but I will find a place....
:roll:

I know how happy you are because I just got one. Now if my mounting hinges to get her in her cabinet would arrive! I'm hoping today is the day LOL

Beautiful!!! Go on ebay featherweight site. There are lots of parts, including bobbins and feet. Good luck!

Here is where I got parts for my mom's machine:

Congratulations on a beautiful machine.

Love her! She is a nice looking machine!

Lucky you.....have fun :-D

How pretty!!!!!!!!!

Lovely acquisition... The 201 takes the common class 66 bobbins and regular needles that you can buy in your local sewing shop. You can drop the feed dogs on those, and the throat space is huge, so it can do FMQ! You can find any side clamping feet you want on Ebay-- very common. Have fun!

nice.....

all I ever get that follow me home eats, poops, and has 4 feet!

u lucky duck u!

If you look on the UK ebay you'll probably find bits and pieces for her,
she's lovely,

Try Singersewingmachine.com. I have gotten feet, needles and bobbins for all the older Singer's in my collection. Fast service as I recall.

you can get Singer parts and bobbins on Singer.com I got a 1/4 in foot and a light bulb from there. There is also a man that speciaity in these.Dave is the real pro.www.featherweight221.com

Hope this info helps. Mari from Okeechobee, Florida

You can get parts from several websites, like ebay or 221parts (http://www.221parts.com/). I have had good luck with both sites. I know there are several other websites that specialize in 221 parts, but I know these two best.

She looks like a nice machine. I hope you enjoy here. I have a 221 and a 222. I use the 221 more than the Pfaff I have. Enjoy it.
