I know the black Singer 301 is the most sought after but I am partial to this mocha one. I have a two tone also, white/tan but this one steals my heart. They are wonderful for piecing. I like to paper piece on it as does DH. A long bed is great! Besure to post a picture if you make a custom cabinet. Could you adjust an excisting cabinet? Long beds are sought after as much as the black ones. Neat you have one. Do you sew on it alot?

The singer 301 is lighter and would be nice as a full size portable machine. It is considered the big sister of the feather Weight eventhough it looks none like it. there is a cute little handle on top to cary it. Still not a super light machine though. also it is does not sew through as much as the 15-91. I like this machine for paper piecing but not for quilting.
I like your 301 short bed in the cabinet.
I have the 301A Long bed, same color too (mocha chocolata yah yah ) no cabinet, thinking of customizing a cabinet for it.
