201K singer
Anyone have one of these machines, mine has a motor, ser no. shows 1948.
I have replaced elec cords. Will not pull , motor runs. Not sure I have put bobbin winder on correctly. |
I have three. :)
Can you post some pictures of the areas of the machine you think might not be correct? |
4 things to check before you panic
Check to see if the clutch knob - the chrome knob in the middle of the balance wheel is tight. Check to see if the feed dogs have been dropped Check to see if the stitch length is at 0 Check to see if the pressure foot is adjusted too loosely. You may have to look in a manual to find how to do some of those things or maybe someone will come along and spell it all out for you. |
The owner's manual is downloadable in pdf format for free!

Here is some great info on the clutch/hand wheel:

I predict that the clutch wheel washer is backwards! The tangs should point out and use your eyes to see where the stop screw engages versus the tangs in the washer. I have three of these machines. Please send me a p.m. if you need a pic.

I'm a little surprised that so many of you have Scottish machines, though. I thought they were rare in the U.S. The late '50s ones were half the weight but exactly the same stitch (I have two of those). |

I'm pretty sure the feed dog has been dropped (#3 on Miriam's checklist).

I would love to see photos of these machines. I think I saw one on eBay, but was too uninformed to bid on it.
