    The cams that came with one machine say Great Britain on the back and the other says Simanco made in the USA. They look identical in the front.

    I have heard that as well. My first attempts at FMQ with the 201-2 have been pretty successful. I did put the spool of thread on a stand behind the machine and that seemed to help.

    I am also new to FMQ. While researching, I read repeatedly read that vertical hook machines are better for FMQ than those with horizontal hooks (drop in bobbins) because the thread must make a 90...

    I'm happy with the throat size of the 201-2, but I don't see many vintage machines with decorative stitches that have that size of throat.

    I'll keep that in mind about Japanese machines. I didn't...

    Ah, thanks for the clarification. I have done some work on my 201-2 so I think I could handle most things. It might still be worth looking into.

    Is This a 15-91?

    It was made in Canada. It looks to be a bicentennial model. It is serial number JC759445. I can't find anything that gives specific information for Canadian models. Thank you in advance!

    Thank you for letting me know about the harp size. There's hardly any information about the 15-125 out there at all.
