Anyone received their FW shipping in the case and NO box or packinging? It did have more tape on it, DH started to remove it when we thought about taking pictures

My word, how was it inside, everything OK???

Oh my gosh! I can't believe they would ship it like that, not even in a box. But, I bought one on Ebay, and the guy did put it in a box, but, with no packing, and it arrived in shambles. I couldn't even use the machine, parts were missing due to holes in the box, so you are really lucky!

She is beautiful!! does need a new foot peddle with cords.

Hope I didn't post to many pictures of "Lizzy".

She has a perfect stitch, fabic is puckering just a tiny little bit. Haven't used her yet to piece anything.

I'm surprised that they let it ship that way...glad it arrived in 1 piece.

For crying out loud! What was the seller thinking?! There's a saying..."doesn't have the good sense that God gave lettuce". I think it applies here. We all know cardboard is very hard to come by...

Looks like it's in pretty good shape considering how it was shipped. How does the machine look? Hopefully she had a good trip as well and you'll have many happy hours together.

From eBay?

I'd ding his stars for that when you leave feedback.

Stupid seller. Took a lot of risk.

If he got the wrong kind of buyer, he would have lost the whole $$$ sale AND the machine. I would have made him sweat for a few days.

Didn't/doesn't he realize the case is part of the whole package? So if it's dinged or now has non-removable labels on it.......

Also, for any sale over $250, DelConf ain't enough. It HAS to be signature confirmation.

Idiot.


Aside from that, she's lovely. I wish you decades of happiness. ;-)

anyone know where I can order a new foot pedal with cords?

Add said it had one small area with tape, WRONG
3 places. plus worn cord and 2 of the 3 areas are 1; coming out of the foot pedal and 2; wires showing coming out of the plug. Easy fix, get a replacement.

Importantly she seems to work perfect, and looks great!:) I am in love.

Very beautiful machine, I am glad it wasn't damaged. Lucky you.
