Does the 301 take a bobbin I can buy in the store or do I need to order them off the internet? They are so darned skinny!
And i LOVE to sew with this little beauty :). She is so fast!

As of 4.6.11 at 11:08 A.M. I have read every page! Not bad for only being a member several weeks! Of course, my house is a disaster!
Love the machines...before and after!

Hi everyone, I am in the process of fixing up an older Dressmanker S 9000 AAB. I am missing the embroidery cams and can't seem to find any on ebay or google search. Is there any hope for me??

DH was able to fix it by glue and long clamps over night. I can't wait to get the machine back in her bed to try her out. She was used every day by her previous owner, and I have been told she is a real hummer!! :-) Wish me luck!!

I recall somewhere around pages 893-895, Nancy and Fabric Whisperer were discussing their "willy " machines and cabinets, and BTW Nancy, your refinished cabinet is spectacular! But I digress..there was some mention of finding a wilcox to go with Fabric Whisperer's cabinet, and in my CL travels, I found one...check out the listing in Fond Du Lac Wisconsin:
