My first piecing machine was a Mocha 301A I paid $75 for it in 2004. Then I purchased a tan and cream 301. I just recently purchased a 301 long bed with a case, attachments, and manual for $150. My machine guy said I made a great deal -- the machine was in almost new condition. As Featherweight demand and prices continue to increase, the demand for the 301s is increasing. At this point, there are still great deals out there, but demand is growing as is pricing. I am now looking for a black one.
