I thought I was the only one that did something silly like bid on a 301 since I didn't think I could afford a Featherweight then found a Featherweight in Great condition for a reasonable price!! Now I have both, delivered within 10 days of each other! And and I'm keeping them both.! I also have a Bernina 1031 that I've had for 20 years. I am so excited and ready to "SEW LIKE THE WIND" my 2 girls just shook their heads. Neither sew much but I'm betting they will I did order Daves DVD and book so that I could do maintenance , since he covers both! Congrats on your machines I hope you are as excited as I am with mine. Enjoy and use to the MAX Raine54RN
