The Singer 301 or 301A machines are one of the best machines for FMQ. That’s why my wife took my 301A away from me and put it in her extra-large Singer cabinet, kicking her Singer 401A out into a smaller cabinet. She does all of her FMQing with her 301A, except for her King-sized quilts that she sends out to a long arm. It’s the machine she used to FMQ her Victory Quilt Wall Hanging (only, in pinks, purples. yellows, and greens instead of the normal red, white, and blue colors) that just won a Blue Ribbon at the Kiowa County Quilt Show this weekend.
Here are photos of her working on the quilt in February 2015, in the Blue Ribbon at the Quilt Show, and the hopping foot that she used to FMQ it.
