My friend tells me that I will like it even better than my Featherweight for piecing.
This sewing machine addiction is so much fun!

When she replied she said that she was very disappointed at the final price too but that other machines she had sold made up for it. At least she has a very good home with me!! I can honestly say that I prefer this 301 over my Featherweight for piecing. My only regret is that it isn't a long bed...but I'm still looking.

Other options are cabinets that have a shelf that raises and lowers the machine like a car lift

card table. about $30. also a trapezoid cabinet that a short-bed 301 will fit in. think that also has a cradle.
