The 401A model is one of the popular vintage slant-shank machines for detailed sewing work, because you have good visibility in front of the needle.Internal Fashion Stitches. The 401A Singer has the internal metal cams to make decorative fashion stitches by turning the round front knobs. There are 10 options on one side and 8 on another, which in combination provide nearly 80 stitch designs. In addition, another \"special\" setting is used with the set of black top-hat disks(NOT INCLUDED) that click into the top for additional designs. The top panel folds up to show you some possible patterns and opens the bay for the special black disks.Drop-In Bobbin. The bobbin is a top-loading, drop-in type. This makes is easy to put in and change the bobbin between projects.All Metal Gears. This is a steel, gear-driven sewing machine, so it is very reliable and easy to use.

Rather than buy a new plastic machine for $1000 that decreases in value when you leave the store, you can have an all-metal gear, strong, vintage machine that holds its value.

Heavy Duty. The Singer 401 machine sews well in light to heavy fabrics.
