Of course NOW I have a 500A and a 503A so I can buy for those machines :).
I'm kind of bummed because my local sewing machine store that I bought my Brother from a few years ago has apparantly moved or closed. I had decided to take my machines 1 or 2 at a time over there for a service call. I'm to impatient to figure out the WHY's of things not working correctly...lol
You should be able to get a button holer for the 301 - look for the one that is not marked "professional" but marked for slant-o-matic. The template goes in on the bottom. The professional template goes in on the top. The not professional buttonholers move the material back and forth. The professional is made to use with a zig zag. I like the not professional better anyway - evil grin - I can make them work.......
