Love my 301. I will, admit that the bobbin area can be a real hassle but she is so quiet and easy to use. What I don't like is that she is picky about the bobbins that I have on hand. I have one vintage bobbin that she doesn't like and I know it when I attempt to use it but operator head space error never remembers to take it out of the box with all the other bobbins.
