Ouch NUMA - you 'got rid' of your FW - owwwwwww.
I work on a 301 a lot and love it's smooth running sound and great stitches. My 301 is in a table not a case like yours.
I have a FW in a case ready to go quilting outside the house. FW is much lighter for travel.
ENJOY they're wonderful! Heck any machine that runs well is wonderful!
