Yes, they're cute.. but I think for those that "go" to piece at classes or group functions, workshops, etc. they are the lightest portable with the best straight stitch for traveling. They are little workhorses and that's why there are so many still around. A real quality machine.

FW were made specifically for the female sewer to do all the repairs if any, on it. Machine repairmen were few and far between in rural areas so this was a major selling point. The machines were built to last for generations. They are very light weight. I take my FW to classes in a tote bag. It sews a stitch to rival any high end machine today. That's all it was built for, a perfect stitch. It took me many years to finally find one. Now I can pass it on to my one and only Grandbabygirl.
