The singer 201 is a workhorse. I have a friend who relied on hers to make stuffed animals for about 50 years. It finally died and she got another. It is sturdy and quite heavy, unlike the Featherweight. But it will sew through just about anything. You will want to take it in for a "check up" when it comes. Have fun!

Great find! And all the other posts on this thread helped me appreciate my little heavy Singer. Paid $139. with a plastic case. it's the one I have lent out, won'd lend my Viking Daisy !! Thanks everyone, for all the great input on this.

The 201 is also very useful if you fancy taking up weightlifting (-: That is one heavy machine! It took me a while to get it up my 2 flights of stairs.

I've not been able to do FMQ with my 201K, it does do straight line quilting just fine though. I use my Singer 15k for FMQ, it does it without a hiccup(both of my machines are treadles).
