I do a lot of FMQ on my Featherweight also. The 301 will handle a larger piece than the Featherweight. I also have the 301.

AnnieRose pieces perfectly, as does a FW, but she also FMQs wonderfully. Even does the binding without a walking foot which surprised me. They are going up in price, so $100 isn't too bad.

The one I would love to have is the Black with White top and faceplate. I know where one is and he isnt letting it go anytime soon.

Is the featherweights the only machines that have the front to fold up. They are asking $100.00 for it, is that a good price??
I know someone will have the answer for me.. Thanks
