    It looks that way because of how it screws on the 301 but trust us you'll get use to it...I also am a beginner FM er and could get the hang of it on the newer machines and there just something abt that 301 that made it nice to FM on and I did a much better job on it.

    Thank you for the link, I just used a free motion foot and walking foot and need to return them both, they did not work, even they are sold for slant foot.
    Off now to check them out and hopefully order them:)

    I looked up an online manual for directions to drop the feed dogs. I need to replace the ink b/4 I can print them out.

    I went to sewclassics and ordered both the free motion and walking feet. Thank you for the link.

    Thank you, will try it out. Which foot did you get for the foot with the 1/4" guide, there were three? If you want to do stitch in the ditch, which one is the best and does the walking foot do the same thing that is offered? I saw there was one specifically for the 301.

    Easy to drop the feed dogs...there is a little knob to the left of the bobbin carrier. You turn that knob to drop the feed dogs. If it is stiff, open the bottom of the machine and tip it back. Move the knob some so you can see which mechanism it is, and oil it really good. Then move it, move it, move it. It will loosen up, and you'll be able to lower the feed dogs easily.

    Both 1/4 seem the same...I think I have the first one that says edge...but other seems the same. Walking foot the one that specifically says 301 or 301A...may have to wait until in stock...no adjustments needed for that one.
    Stitch in ditch foot has the metal guide bar in the middle. But I use walking foot so that the fabric on the bottom moves and you dont get ripples.

    Does the walking foot gear go in the ditch as you stitch?
    I was wondering since the SID feet have a guide on the foot?
