The 301 in our class was heavier and bigger than the FW's, but not real heavy like most old Singers. I think the difference in weight between the FW and 301 is less than 5 lbs.

Nancy Here is one with suitcase that someone is asking $175. Too cute! And bit high in price for me.

I think there is a 'suitcase' mocha 301 on shopgoodwill.com right now. I was thinking of bidding on it... but I still think I can get my MIL's machine to come live with me someday (I hope to heck she doesn't charge ME $175). The 301, is like 16lbs and has a convenient carry handle. I love it. Glenn, I'm with you... FW's just don't do it for me, I like the heft and versitility of the 301 better, so far.
