I can't beat the price of my 301: free. My MIL has given to me on a permanent loan. I can keep it, and use it, as long as I want. But, if I ever get tired of it or don't want it anymore I have to give it back to her. And, FOR NO REASON am I to sell it or give it to anyone else. I can live with those rules.

You came to the right place since you are new to quilting. Everyone here is very friendly and VERY helpful. If you have a question, just asked... you will get an answer or many answers.
As a collector of vintage machines might I suggest securing a Featherweight for toting to your classes. A little pricier than a 301 but uses the same presser feet and bobbins and power cord. Seattle area has a lot of vintage machines to choose from that you can easily find on Craigslist. All of my vintage machines except one or two are from craigslist.
