It is not a long bed in the sense we normally define long bed. The same space is from needle to the right on a short bed as there is on a Singer 301 long bed. The long bed refers to the little flip up attached left of the needle. Short bed was normally in a cabinet and long bed often in a case. Quilting wise there is not much to be gained and the machines are basically identical with the acception of the little flip up attachment being a little longer in the long bed. Hope I make sense.

Opening on both machines to the right, harp space, is the same 7 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inches. Not bad.

I have not been able to find the right set up to do quilting on the slant shank Singer 301 but I find it wonderful for piecing, especially paper piecing. I did get the Singer 15-91 set up for quilting. It is suposed to be the best vintage machine for that job.
