To all your FW people. Now that I have been given a free FW and cleaned it up and oil and greased although it did not need much work. I have been using it to piece and find it not the most powerful machine I have used. I sews really well though. It maybe because I only use treadles and I am used to the power they have. If I had to make a choice at this time I would not really want one. I do like the idea that it is light and can take it in the travel trailer when camping. I will give it a chance and try to use it often. Maybe I will learn to use it properly. Glenn
