Singer 201-2!

Whew - it's been a light blogging week, but it's been super busy around here!

Some of you know I had a job interview with my dream employer this week - and I think it really went well! I should hear something back next week. Cross your fingers for me!  If I end up getting a full time job, there's going to be a lot of things that take the back burner, so things will change a bit over here.  Just FYI.

In the meantime though, I kept reading over and over what a great machine the Singer 201 was.  Well, I decided I had to try it, if it was supposedly the pinnacle of the great work Singer has done.  So I put in a bid on a couple to see what would happen.  And you know, every time I do that, you'd think I'd learn!

I now own 2 Singer 201s.  So I have decided to put one of them up for sale in my shop, after intensive cleaning, servicing, and other maintenance.  She has the most beautiful chrome plates!  Ready to see her?

Isn't she gorgeous?  I ran her today for the first time, and she just purrs. This really is a great machine - it runs so smoothly and quietly, and you couldn't ask for more.

Here's an example of the chrome - The ArtDeco type pattern on this one, and some leaves on the back plate (not pictured).  The chrome polished up nicely!

I'm selling her with all of this included (and more! ha, forgot to put buttonholer in this pic):

The original instruction booklet.

The box of Singer accessories - includes some rarer Blackside attachments, and the original packing slip.

The Y.S. Star Automatic Zig-Zager, with all the templates

The Greist Blind Stitch Hemmer

The black case Singer buttonholer with 7 templates

I think it's a great lot - not only do you have the functionality of the 201, you have the added functions of all the attachments, which add around $50 of value to the whole group.

If you are interested in checking it out, you can find it here, in my shop.

Have a great weekend!
