Playing with the 201

Got to sew on this lovely old 201 Singer sewing machine yesterday for a bit. My dear husband oiled her up and refurbished this old sewing machine cabinet with a chair. The motor is as smooth as silk. and the stitch is beautiful. The threading is quite different from modern machines, so you really have to look

 

 

online for the manual. I have had this machine for quite awhile--just haven't used it for several years. I should give her a name; any suggestions? She was born in 1947; same as me.  I got a few more Celtic Solstice units finished which totals to a mere 23 completed.  This is my last week before retirement, so I will have time to enjoy keeping up with the clues this year.

I think I will name her Opal; my Featherweight is Olive--my Mother's middle name.
