There are a corresponding number and size of feed dogs to match the factory foot. We also place a strip of tape on the bed as a guide. We have feet for our machines that are 1/2-inch wide with rollers and some are clear plastic so we can obtain a seam allowance on either side of the needle. If you like a 1/4-inch seam allowance on the right side, you will need to add another foot or use some other guide as reference. Quilters note: The presser foot has a 1/4-inch guide on the left side only. Our machine sews nicely both forward and in reverse and the stitches look pretty much the same in either direction.

The factory lingo for the color combination used on the 2-tone Singer 301s was "Light Beige Oyster White", or LBOW for short. The 301 was available in two-tone shown above, all tan, and black.
