The 201 actually does a much better free-motion stitch than any of my other drop-in bobbin type machines, so you may end up happier with it than you'd think.
The 201 is soooooo quiet, too. The quietest of all my machines, including the treadles. :)

Thanks for the confidence vote - when I got to thinking about putting something 'retro' back into Mom's cabinet, I decided it had to be the same model she bought with months of saving when she was a new bride. She is gone now, but I think she'd be pleased. Thank you Mom for a wonderful legacy of sewing & many other crafts. :+)

The ones with reverse were made later.

The 201 is straighter and is about 9" wide at the widest point and about 5½" tall.
