Featherweight or 301?
#16
I got rid of my FW in favor of my 301. It is a much better machine. It's gear driven, drops the feed dogs, has a larger space, a built in handle and there is only a slight weight difference. Beautiful stitches too!

I have a featherweight and love it. I recently bought 2 301's from a person who had many different machines. I got a tan one with a case in mint condition and a black one that is also in mint condition and is in a beautiful maple cabinet, I bought the machines and cabinet for a total of $135.00.

I love my Featherweights, but if you are not going to be taking it to classes, I would go for a 301. It is a little more versatile. The cost on a 301 is less and I would definitely want a case for my machine. In MHO, you will be happy with either.
