Dh was checking Craigs List as he does every morning,and said he found a 301 for 25.00 and my responce was you're kidding. I looked and there it was a beautiful tan 301 short deck in a maple cabinet. So I called and told the man we would take it and would be right over to pick it up. We had to go to Tyler about 40 miles from us,and when we got there he told us that he had his moms machine also if we were interested. pulled it out of a case and bless pete it was a black 301 long deck . I ask how much for it and about fainted when he said he would 25.00 for it also. You know I got that one too. Then he said his mom had some kind of sewing table in the garage, and low and behold, it was a featherweight table . I ask how much and when he said 20.00 You know I got that too. Boy what a lucky day we had. I am sooooo excited I can hardly sit still . I just had to tell you all. Oh by the way I have already sewed on both machines and they are perfect.
