My wife inherited her mother's 301. Spiffy-looking, and never misses a beat.

I have the same. 301A mocha long bed. It was my mother's machine and the one I learned to sew on. I pieced the log cabins for a wearable art car coat I made a couple years ago. Wonderful machine. You'll love it.

Can you post a pic of your machine in the cradle? Did you have to mod the cabinet? AFAIK the long bed won't fit in any standard cabinet and the card table for the 301 long bed doesn't use the cradle.

Yes I am. Now a question for you, how are you liking your 301? It's another one of my favorite Singers.

Yes, I know what the cradle looks like, I have two of them. The cradle fits cabinets made for the 400 series on up and holds a 301 short bed machine. Briarberry said she uses her long bed in a cradle so I was asking to see her set up.
