I'm allergic to garbanzo beans, but thanks for offer. Yesterday DD and I picked lots of carrots,squashes and eggplants. The tomatoes don't like this hot weather.

There's several oil wicks in 301's top cover, just put a drop of oil in each one; also make sure you get a drop of oil in all the oil holes throughout the entire machine.
I just might have to get my 301 out and see if I can get her to make a pretty stitch.

Sharon, That's all been done. I will take the top off and sew with off it to see if I can pinpoint it even more. I hope it's just a whim of hers. I like that machine.

They are really the last of the great ones, and will do a variety of decorative and utility stitches. If you want to do anything besides SS and ZZ, these are the ones.

Every machine has its quirks and its just part of the deal with owning one but I think that the 300-500 series machines were some of Singers best machines. And that is saying a lot considering that I do not like electric machines!
