I have newer machines (including a 2005 White from my mom) but this old machine does a far better job than the other ones.
I totally love my FW, and I'm sure it would do good FMQ, but I've assumed that the harp is too small. I can't imagine getting a double bed quilt through it - I have enough trouble with my bigger machine! But maybe I should give it a try.
