I have two black FW's sitting in my house. My DH bought the first around 1975 or so, from a lady that worked with him and she had it in a garage sale, it was her mother's, he paid $10.00 for it. I have only used it a few times. It works good and has all kinds of attachments, but he really claims it. I bought my new Bernina just after that, so I really didn't get into the FW that much. I can't remember what year it is, a late 30's if I remember correctly. Then I bought my "own" from ebay 2 yrs ago,because every time I used the one he bought he always ask why I was using his machine. Mine is dated 1937. Have really enjoyed using it.
I plan to start this week on a graduation quilt, and I'm planning to make it entirely on the FW. I've never made a complete quilt on it yet.
I don't name my machines, just really enjoy them. I have my Bernina, a Singer Golden N Touch, 1968,my Bernina Serger and my mother's old Singer Dress Maker model, that she bought in 1941- was a tredle that she converted, sure wish I had it's cabinet.
