Do most of my sewing on my 301A. Love it. Have another 301A in the living room, but with the daughter living with us now, can't get to it. I have a 301 in a trapizod cabinet that my future DIL found on the curb in Dallas.(for trash pickup) It needs adjusting, just haven't had time yet.
Most of the free motion I do on my machine, I just cover the feed dogs, seems like when I lower them on this machine, everything goes south. LOL Good luck!!
