Notsureif: Saw your standard cabinet in the pics section, very pretty! Since I'm a little lazy these days, I'd put a little wood base down and call that missing drawer slot a shelf!
Well...my kind-of-recently acquired 301 now has come out to play. I was able to try out the FMQ foot I got for her last night. Couldn't figure out why I was having so many problems getting it on until I realized the thread cutter was in the way. Popped that off, adjusted the top tension once, and away we doodled! The foot is very clacky itself, which is annoying, and I never could get the feed dogs lowered, just set the stitch length to zero, but now I know why everyone seems to be so attached to their 301s. It was just easy to make my little scrap doodles. The back was just as pretty as the front, and I didn't have to fight the machine, just figure out coordinating my motions with the machine speed. Wish I had more time to play and start something larger!
