Thanks for your comments everyone. I was about to have a panic attack!! I have a couple of fancy Vikings that I've had for years but the little FW makes the most beautiful stitch.... and such a lovely hum..... click, click, click..... Love it
I've only had the FW a couple of years and haven't used it as much as I should...... it's almost like the FW talks to me when she's humming away.
It makes me wonder if the rest of you have such a personal attachment to your FWs as well.
