I love my little Featherwieghts, but I am not wild about the case. I prefer to put it in my case with the wheels and pack it along. I have my Janome 6600P set up all the time at home, so I rarely use the FW's at home. But they are perfect for travel. If you have limited space and only want to do straight stitching it is an ideal machine - great for teaching a child to sew also. (There is a button hole attachment and a zig-zag attachment and even a blind stitch attachment available.) I bought a walking foot to use with it, but so far have not tried to use it.
