So I'd like to humbly ask (because I'd like to understand) -- Why do you have more than one? Do you sew on all of them or are some just for decoration? (A woman in my quilt guild has 6 antique machines and they are purely decor.)
Currently, I have only one FW, but I want more. I like the weight and compactness of them for travel, and the fact that they are such workhorses, which would be hard for kids to harm. I load my little trailer with an assortment of donation and thrift store machines of more modern era, and take them on the road for 4-H sewing classes. To that end, I have to carry an assortment of bobbins, and tools. With a collection of FW's they would pack more easily, and I wouldn't need to spend the entire class troubleshooting machine problems. We could spend more time sewing.
