THIS MACHINE IS IN AMAZING COSMETIC CONDITION! AND IT SEWS LIKE A DREAM!! CHECK IT OUT, AND COME OVER TO EBAY TO BUY IT!! I AM NIFTYTHRIFTYGIRL ON EBAY
Is 201-2 a better model to look at then say a 404 if you want to do mostly projects in heavier weight fabrics and light leather... I realize neither is an "Industrial" machine, however, of the two, which do you feel will hold up better in use on heavy canvas and light leather materials?
I have a Singer 201-2 that was made in 1949, and it's in the original cabinet with the original chair. I have a problem, the hand crank sews a few stitches then it stops and the hand wheel get stuck. I have taken the hand wheel off and all the mechanisms inside and cleaned and oiled it. I haven't taken off the motor. Can it be the motor maybe? I love the machine and I would love to use it. I have some attachments that came with it and then some I have found at estate sales, and yard sales and thrift stores. HELP NEEDED!
THESE VIDEOS ARE ALWAYS OUT OF FOCUS.....
This machine is very beautiful. The saying is true,"They don't make 'em like they used to." : )
Thanks for your video
