It is amazing to me that newer machines just don't stitch like these, even the ones that cost thousands of dollars. I am thrilled! :)
    you'll need a "cradle" made for the 301 to fit in the cabinet.
    they have no hinges on the back. you will love that 301 !
    and a fantastic price. it also has drop feed dogs for FMQ.
    best lighting, fastest sewing.

    oops--you can find the cradles on ebay for about $30.
