Singer 301A
#13
I'm so happy for you, doing the Happy Dance. Funny, I just bought a 301A too. I bought mine off Craig's list in Arkansas..my sister picked it up for me, I haven't even seen it yet. Going home to Arkansas in March for my yearly Doctor appt. and will get to sew on it then..its a long bed Black one. I've been waiting a long time for this one. So I'm doing a Happy Dance for both of us. Its name is Miss Lee for my sister, since she picked it up for me..she was thrilled I named a machine after her. LOL

Congrats! Can't wait to see a pic. She will tell you her name once you are better acquainted. A 301 is on my wish list, but around here, they are selling for more than my budget will allow right now. Maybe someday...

Oh you lucky Duck! What a nice thing to have happen when you were helping your Mom with something so difficult. Bet that lifted your spirits!
Hope you love your new 301A as much as I love mine!

Lucky you! I also thought of Black Beauty as a name.
Remember that you need to oil her every eight hours of sewing time with sewing machine oil or Tri-Flow, and nothing else!
I have two Singer 301s and they are my all-time favorite machines. Last night, I finished quilting a scrappy log cabin on "Joyboy", who is so named because he is such a joy to use. He is mocha and a long bed. My second machine was inherited from my dear friend Sandra, and she loved that machine, as do I. It is a mocha short bed in a cabinet. She is my main piecing machine. Her name is "Sandra's baby". Now what if they got together and had babies - would they be Singer 301s or Singer 221s (Featherweights)?

I would love to have a 301a and a 501a, too. I keep my eyes open and was so disappointed when I missed out on a 501a on craigslist right before Christmas.
I have two featherweights and even offered to trade one for a 301a on craigslist, but didn't get an answer back.
