    I have the same problem when I switch from the Singer 66 to the Singer 201k, the bobbin loads opposite from the other one. I'm glad I could help.

    The stitch length knob is not the correct one, it looks like something that somebody substituted. My red eye 66 machines are 1914 and 1921, neither of them has anything like that.

    1914:...

    Hi Blockgirl,
    The body of the Singer 301 is aluminium, if it were all iron it would weigh far more. I have a black short bed 301, one of my favorite machines. I'm a quilter too.
