Hey Irishrose2, I didn’t have a problem with the Westalee rulers, in fact, Two of my favorite rulers are the Westalee ones. It was the way you have to adjust the ruler
Foot that I found inconvenient.
Also, the adjustability is not a deal-breaker it’s just inconvenient if you are quilting a quilt with lots of thick seams (like where a bunch of points come together). I used the Westalee foot for several years and did a number of quilts before Switching to the Janome set that fit my Brother PQ1500s. Two of my other machines (that are low shank) don’t work with any of the Janome sets so I still use the Westalee foot with them. Is your 301 a slant shank? If so, then by all mean order the Westalee and give it a go since They are the only folks making ruler feet for slant shank machinesx- especially if that is the machine you prefer to use for quilting.
