I have just finished the flimsy for quilt for my mother's 90th birthday. It was sewn on my Black short bed 301. It's on its way to a long armer now. My mom picked the pattern, a variation on courthousesteps and the fabric herself. I sew all my quilts on the 301, I love her. I just got a tan longbed 301 that I am cleaning up now. clean as a whistle inside but horrible dirty outside and totally wrong setup for needle ,thread wrapped around bobbin race all the usual messes.
