I love it! I sold a 15-91 to Swamp. I use a 201-2. It's the same machine only "prettier". Some extra scrolling and fancy face plate but same machine.
Heres a little useless info ;
Model 99 sold for $99 / new
Model 15 sold for $ 199/ new
Model 201 sold for $ $299/ new...
And most thought Henry Ford started monthly payments ?!?!?
During the depression era , women made clothes for the family, if there were multiple kidds a sewing machine was a must and had to be financed by all but the rich who prob just bought most of thier clothing.
The 201 was considered a wealthy persons thread injector ... heard this tidbit from the salesman who sold me my 15-91....also have a 3/4 size featherweight for lightweight fabs.
WARNING: They become as addictive as saddles....
I have a 221 as well. Those featherweights are nice but not made for most of what I do.
Yeah the 15-91 is the "farmers wife's" version while the 201-2 is the "cadillac". But the same motor on both.
Oh great "as addictive" this was gonna be next months purchase to start working on some ideas i had. Lol Im gonna have to take out a loan to keep up with these addictions lol
Still waiting for pics of the aunt lol.Watching my wife's aunt SEW my hbs, pics later
I have had a thread injecting singer 66 sitting here for months. I have no clue how to use it. What is the best u tube instructional video. Thread injectors are more intimidating than a mig welder. I want to sew some stuff on my aero hunter

Try a search on Singer 66 set-up.
Once you get the spool threaded and the bobbin pulled up, run some scrap material, old t-shirt works good, and see how it goes.
They only seem intimidating at first. As far as sewing on your aero....might want to purchase a stitching awl and manually sew through the heavy material....the 66 probably isn't going to be able to handle the heavy material....

So true! At first I was very intimidated. I almost went to a sewing class at the craft store.
Type your model into YouTube and learn how to use it. After a couple hours you'll be fine. I like using mine now.
I know this is an old thread but I'm new here. How is that 4411 working out for you? I'm thinking of getting one.Got the new thread injector from Amazon yesterday. Shi!t's about to get real.
I have the singer heavy duty 4411 and have been very happy with it. I’ve injected up to 3 layers of tubular webbing for aiders using a denim needle and she has powered through. No issues with it so far.
