There are rumors that Westalee is making a slant ruler foot and I am looking forward to that. I just do love my Singers, I know there are other manufacturers out there, but for some reason these old Singer machines really appeal to me.
I love the old Singers too. I have 2 301's. Both the long bed and the short one. I did not think that it would make so much difference untill sewing on them. You need to take this into consideration if you have the choice.
