I have two machines but I have looked for several years to find a FW that I could afford. They say they are really light to carry around and that is what I need when I go quilting with my friends. But I can take some patterns and cut them out and then bring them home to sew. I have seen one FW. I like the way they look and feel. I am going to continue to look this year for a FW and then give up on finding one. I know they are on ebay but on a fixed income,(if you can call it income) I can't pay the price for the machine and the shipping. That's ok though, cause I am happy any way!
