I bought an older singer. Thought it was a 301. I do have pictures of it on here. Got the book. It's close to picture but not exact. Tried to thread. Most machines thread same on top. The bobbin is a drop in I believe it's called. Is there a special way it works? Put it in thread pulls easy. Then I pull to top it won't pull Turned bobbin over but won't pull at all so know it's backwards. What am I doing wrong! It's one of thoses days! Can't get quilting foot to fit. Busted needles. Went to Viking. Threaded top but cant figure out how to open bobbin case! AaaaaRgh! I give up for today!!!

What is the link where you posted the pic? I have a 301 and a manual so I might be able to help. Maybe....

I'm not certain you have a 301 which doesn't have a drop in bobbin. Maybe it's a 401? Try this site...http://possumjimandelizabeth.com/xht...g_sing301.html I have a 301 and the bobbin and case is thin.
