My taupe 301 find
Two years ago, we found our next door neighbor at the time divesting himself of his exwife's belongings by throwing everything in a dumpster. There, in excellent condition was a singer sewing machine vintage case. We asked for it, walked it home, and didn't know what we had. Took it to a repair shop and after thirty five dollars for basic cleaning and refurbishing I have a new machine! It had been used very little. My treasured 301a was "born" approx the same year I was, so how fitting to create my very first quilt on it! (with the wonderful lessons from my sisters). A new passion is born!

You were in the right place at the right time! That is a great model. I have one of thst color also!
|
Do you use yours for FMQ? Its considered a "slant", correct?
|
Lucky You!! You will certainly enjoy it!!

Do you need a manual?
http://www.singerco.com/accessories/instruction-manuals type in 301 and hit search then you can print out your manual. |
I have/had all the colors that the 301 was made in. It is a great machine , you'll love sewing with it. I've sold all but 1 black 301.
