The 301 was available in two-tone shown above, all tan, and black. Caution: if the throat plate is removed for cleaning (which you need to do occasionally) make absolutely sure the position finger of the bobbin case enters a notch on the bottom of the plate during reassembly. Voice of experience and I would never have figured it out without the owner's manual.Our 301 is somewhat like a full-size Featherweight in its capabilities, simplicity, ease and smoothness of operation. It is a straight-stitch machine and it does that beautifully. You can really appreciate its simplicity when it comes time to lubricate it and not have to worry about the mechanisms used to drive cams, zig-zag hardware, needle centering, etc. Additionally, it is much easier for the motor. There is very little which can go wrong with the all-mechanical 301 if it is kept cleaned and lubricated.
The electrical cords should be checked often for signs of deterioration or wear. Features we like:. Smooth, quiet and well balanced. Inclined needle bar places work closer to your line of vision. Easy starting-you don't have to manually spin the handwheel. Good range of control on speed from slow to fast using foot/knee control.
Easy to carry - has built-in carrying handle. Light weight aluminum head weighs only 16 pounds. Both electrical cords can be replaced without rewiring the machine. The spool pins are springs that allow them to bend and not break. Full-size machine. Metal gear driven; not plastic gears - no belts. No plastic.
