A blog devoted to my vintage sewing machines and how I find them, fetch them and fix them.
Now that's one machine I've been able to score. They must all be in your area. ;-( It looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh Michelle, I am SURE there must be a 201 out your way. Still I am jealous. I think you have a Midas touch when it comes to finding machines. If you want one, it will come.........
DeleteHi Elizabeth, Your vintage sewing machines are gorgeous! I see the 201 has a gear driven motor like the Singer 15-91. How many sewing machines do you own? Do you have a favourite?
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy, Thank you!!! I am rather pleased with how this one photographed. It is actually the background for the blog! Asking a Sewing Machine Addict how many sewing machines he or she owns is a bit like asking an alcoholic how much he or she drinks. We all lie. At last count I had 78. I have sold some and acquired some since then. So, honestly, I don't know now.
DeleteNope, no favorites. But I confess I don't much like the Elna Supermatic.
I can only remember seeing one, and it was $75 several years ago. I should have picked it up. Seriously, I have not seen one before or since. If I can't get yours off my mind, I'll let you know......I'm thinkin'.....I'm thinkin'.....you might have to pack that baby yet.
ReplyDeleteThat 201 is lovely. My quest is on hold since I have just been gifted (?) a White Rotary so I have a lot to learn - again - before I get to a 201. It's not fibbing really, is it, if you don't keep track of every single songle machine? Surely not.

Hi Elizabeth. I'm still lusting after your 201! One has not found me yet!
