That they work well and that the bobbin area is OK. I really like my white one to sew on over any of my FW black ones. They are smaller, lighter weight and have a nicer foot petal. they are not as fancy and the cord is not detachable. Which can be good if you tend to forget it. LOL Both are great. Enjoy!
