I've got a sweet little black 1938 FW that my MIL gave me about 10 years ago. I just started using it a couple months ago and now don't think I'll ever piece on my new machine again (even after it does come home from the repair shop). I absolutely love, love, love my FW! I am looking to get a 1/4 foot for it though, right now I'm using one of those heavy duty magnetic seam guides to mark my 1/4".
