Look what I got in the mail today!! A new-to-me vintage singer 301A has come to play...a straight stitcher. I can't wait to get it threaded and the bobbins wound and let 'er rip...Randy at Barrister's Block recommended me to her sewing machine guy as interested in getting a straight stitch mechanical machine.
I have this old wooden desk of my Grand'mere's with one front drawer and a tray that pulls out to put her on....
That's my exciting news for the day gals....
I hope I can figure it all out--trial and error I guess--am looking forward to 1/4" seams!! Fingers crossed--
WISH ME LUCK....

The 301's make a beautiful straight stitch. I hope you enjoy yours. I bought after-market feet that work well: a quarter-inch foot, a walking foot and a free-motion foot ... in case you decide to do more than piecing with your machine.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new sewing machine. I love my 301! I think the straight stitch machines really make piecing quilts a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteI have a 401 and they aren't that different. Just email me a question. If I can't answer, we'll ask Cheryl of Cheryl's Teapots and Quilts. She has connections!

ReplyDeleteI am green with envy! I want one but probably in black. And a very low price. I don't want much, do I?
