I am sorry to say that the Singer 160 Limited Edition and Singer makes absolutely no reference to the FW. If you look at the 160 it has a handle for carrying and can also be used in a cabinet. In Singer's long history there is only one sewing machine that fits this description and that is the Singer 301/301A. The motor on the 160 is mounted inside just like the Singer 301/301A, not outside like the FW. The 160 has the same locomative type design like the 301/301A, nothing near the design of the FW. To keep the traditional look it is painted Black with Gold. The 301/301 also has Black with Gold Decals. In my opinion they took the Singer 301/301A and worked from its design and added 24 different stitches. The only real difference is the 160 has a drop in bobbin. Singer does mention its use for quilting and the 301/301A has become one of the favorite sewing machines for quilters. Regards, Ray

PS: Nothing against the FW as I have one myself.
