There's several oil wicks in 301's top cover, just put a drop of oil in each one; also make sure you get a drop of oil in all the oil holes throughout the entire machine.
I just might have to get my 301 out and see if I can get her to make a pretty stitch.

Sharon, That's all been done. I will take the top off and sew with off it to see if I can pinpoint it even more. I hope it's just a whim of hers. I like that machine.
