Thank you for your replies. I'm feeling so much better after reading all of your responses. I've actually learned quite a bit from them. I understand now what makes me unhappy with the FW. And I'm OK with that now. It's not the FW it's actually me and my preferences. I will not part with my FW I am definitely keeping it,as it is a huge part of sewing history and I absolutely adore it!! I will continue to use it in my RV and occasionally in classes.
