I just got my FW this week. I had looked everywhere and confused myself so much that I finally just shut my eyes and pointed. I ended up buying one from an antique dealer and she was was great. My "goldie" hums right along and sews like a dream. I don't think you can go wrong because they are just like the little engine that could. You can't kill one if you try. I am so proud of mine and for piecing quilts she is the one I use.
