So I'm down to one rewire job from 3!!

If anyone is interested, I did some digging around the website Miriam mentioned and it requires 18 Ga SPT1...so now I know and wrote it down for future reference! I don't think I'll keep both 15-91's frankly, that would make 6 sewing machines in 950 sq feet...a bit too crowded, I'm afraid.

I'm looking for a 15-125 but because of weight and shipping costs I have to stay local! I FMq'ed on my 401 for the first time yesterday and I must say, although the 401 is a nice machine, it doesn't FMQ nearly as nicely as the 301. I think the 301 is going to keep creeping up in value as quilters grow to realize that they are sweeeeet machines.

Oh my...I happened by an estate sale yesterday and picked up my 4th, 301!!! I bought the two-toned one that now rounds out my collection. It will be a gift from hubby under the tree, so no pictures or playing with it until Christmas. But, that's o.k. I have the 3 other ones to keep me company:>

You may have to get one more Candace. There are at least 5 variations that I know of:
Mocha Longbed
Mocha Shortbed
Black Longbed
Black Shortbed
LBOW Shortbed
Note: The Black Shortbed in my photo is wearing a replacement light cover, so it would normally have a black cover on it.
