Singer Model 201 Sewing Machine Parts

The Singer 201 isn’t just another old sewing machine—it’s one of the finest straight-stitch machines ever produced. Known for its incredibly smooth rotary hook and steel internal components, it’s a favorite among vintage sewing enthusiasts.

But no matter how well it was built, age eventually takes a toll. That’s where we come in.
