I just looked at a pic of your machine, It looks like a regular low shank machine. Any generic feet for low shank machines will fit. My Janome walking foot for my Elna was $24.95 and other feet are available at your sewing machine dealer or online. Ebay has several boxes full right now. All you need to clean the machine is sewing machine oil and a regular screwdriver. Maybe grease - the 1956 Singer needs it, the 1973 Elna doesn't. My 13 year old GD did a great job cleaning the 1978 533 Styylist I was given. Her dad says she can take it home as soon as it jams and she learns how tro unjam it. She pieced an entire quilt top without a jam, so he may have to rethink that. It sews a pretty seam, but at the moment won't zigzag. She took the bottom off and oiled everything in there, too. Have at it - the only thing I really miss that's on a new machine is the needle down feature when I'm FMQ. You can quilt with these machines. The 301 has a 7 1/4" opening and just did a wide twin size quilt.
