Your FW accessories will not fit your 301. The 301 is a slant shank/needle machine and needs its own feet. The FW is a short shank. It seems no walking foot works well with a 301 because of the size of the feeddogs. Mine does everything I want it to do without a walking foot - SITD, etc. Just back the pressure off the presser foot a bit if the quilt is thick. I do love my SITD foot, but could have lived without the 1/4" foot.
I love the pink and red machines.
