As much as I love the 401s, they have a horizontal drop in bobbin vs the vertical bobbin that the 301 has. Also you can't drop the feed dogs, in fact you elevate the plate to remove it. I have not heard of anyone having real good success FMQ with it, but that isn't to say it can't be done---it's always worth a try---make a fabric sandwich and give it a try.
