Hi there ..my husband was cleaning out his garage and asked me to come out and see a sewing machine he forgot about...so out I go...it was an oddly shaped Singer machine with only 301 showing...and it was sitting in a beautiful four drawer cabinet. So after some internet research I have found out a lot about this beautiful machine. Tues I am taking to my Singer repairman.... I haven't been able to see the full number underneath but I am believing it is one of the 10000 produced by Anderson Co in Elizabeth Port, NJ in 1951 to celebrate Singer's s centennial of making machines. I am an avid quilter and have a 1941 singer featherweight...she has helped me make well over a hundred quilt tops...her name is Betsy. I also have a 1913 treadle turned into an electric machine...I have to use it more..problem is Big Ben weighs 40# so I'm not into lifting him too much..however...we have a solid oak desk...very sturdy..my husband will make a pattern from Big Ben's bottom and cut it out from top of desk ..of course making a bottom shelf to support his daintiness 🤗 so having said all of this I am most grateful for your channel....thank you for showing how to thread the 301...I think her name will be Jessica...Jess for short.
Thanks for a very informative video. This is a machine that means business. It’s very masculine looking. I have a couple top of the line Berninas. Not sure why I have all the sudden become interested in vintage/antique machines lately. This is a fun machine. I have a Domestic brand with silver findings, an early Elena and an early Singer with the bullet bobbin.
I have collected 25 machines of all types and taught myself how to fix any and all including chain stitches in the last 3 or 4 years it's one of the best things I've ever done and most interesting I just got this model the other day and it is really interesting and a good machine I believe I'm going to have a museum and I want to repair more and get parts one thing I want to invent is a universal hand crank in case electricity is not around
Me encantó una pregunta dónde puedo conseguir o comprar los carretes y la bobina de esta máquina ???? Agradeceré su ayuda. Un cordial saludo desde Hermosillo sonora México
This isn't the exact one but it's very similar to this one - I just don't have the guide attached in the video. It's not my fave style of 1/4 inch foot but it's what my local quilt shop had available. 😁 www.sewingpartsonline.com/1-4-inch-plastic-patch-work-foot-slant-with-guide-p60606-g.aspx
I learned how to sew on this machine as a kid, and my 87 year old mom still uses it. 😊
I am so glad this video exists, thank you! And Parmesan is so sweet :)
I got one from my school that was like new and it had a zigzag attachment that is really nice

Does this machine have an on off switch?
How do you wind the bobbin using a cone thread?
Como arreglar el cangrejo?
What needle do you use for a 301? I'll be quilting on this machine
Sorry for the delayed response! :) It takes Class 15x1 needles, #2020.
@@CraftcoreDIY is there a brand you prefer? I can’t find what you suggested -class 15x1. Bobbins are what come up
Which foot are you using?
