Just a note on the sewing capability. The 301 is not a FW and has a strong motor. AnnieRose arrived with 4 layers of leather under her presser foot. The seller had advertised her as heavy duty - not. My daughter played with sewing the leather until I asked her to stop. I told her if she wanted to sew leather, go across the room and use the Elna. Annie was bought to quilt and that's all I want her to do.
