Can anyone tell me what type of needles this one takes? I would really like to clean this one up and use it but if I cannot find the needles it won't do me much good.

I love it! It sews so nicely. I got it from a lady who got it from her mom who bought it second hand years and years ago. They all sewed on it, so it wasn't very dirty except for the years of oil residue on the head. I tried cleaning it off, but the decals started to silver, so I have just left it as is.

No I haven't I know that it takes a longer needle and I don't think they make them anymore. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what size it took so I could look on e-bay to find some.[/quote]

If you have room for the cabinet, I'd think that it was the better deal as long as the cabinet is in good condition. You can remove the 301 from the cabinet by pressing down on the lever on the cradle that holds the machine into the cabinet and then its a portable.

Can you tell me how I know if a sewing machine repair/clean person is reliable? I really want to take my FW in for it's 1000 mile check up but I want to be sure that I'm sending her to a good guy/girl. I am new to the town and don't have friends here yet to ask about this person. He works on the machines part time. So he does not have a shop that he works out of. Thanks.
