Thing if I add a walking foot to the 301 I can sell my Brother 1500.
can you find a walking foot for the 301 ????
slant needle SINGER is there a walking foot that works with this machine???
To my knowledge, there has been a lot of talk on the Singer boards about the Walking foot issue, and I have not heard anybody come up with a really good option as now. There are some people who jury rig something but the slant needle is the killer.

I use a walking foot on my 301's, 401, 404, and 500 Rocketeers (all slant needle) and don't have any problem with them. I also do free motion quilting on the 400's and 500's w/o any problems. I tried it on the 301 and had a hard time with it...I now have a second 301, but haven't tried FMQ on it as of yet.
