The issue with a FW for a transported machine is that you are limited to a straight stitch only! Now, that may be o.k for those of you who only do piecing, but I need applique stitches, zig zag etc. and the ability to quilt. And FW are not meant to do quilting as the speed of quilting and constant use can burn out the motors. Plus the harp size is um, small:> So...as cute as they are, they'd never fit my needs. Something to consider before buying is the use. If piecing is all fine, but I wouldn't want to limit what I could do.
