My apologies for the loud noise/ lack of balance at the beginning of this video. But it gets better later on…
(I find it difficult to mix sound due to my hearing disabilities.)

How to operate a Singer 201/ 201k domestic sewing machine?
From the start = winding a bobbin, up to threading and up to the (very first time) sewing with this top of the line Singer sewing machine!

Don’t worry: The original 201 and the restyled 201 mark 2 share the same internal parts!
The only difference is the weight: The mark 1 is made of cast iron and the mark 2 has a aluminum housing.
Right… and the hooks on the front plate… Nearly forgot that one :-)
