I'm so happy for you, doing the Happy Dance. Funny, I just bought a 301A too. I bought mine off Craig's list in Arkansas..my sister picked it up for me, I haven't even seen it yet. Going home to Arkansas in March for my yearly Doctor appt. and will get to sew on it then..its a long bed Black one. I've been waiting a long time for this one. So I'm doing a Happy Dance for both of us. Its name is Miss Lee for my sister, since she picked it up for me..she was thrilled I named a machine after her. LOL
