Many friends only use their FW's to quilt.

I'm one of those who only sews on my beloved FW (that my Mother bought in the 60's to use just for mending, hemming, etc). My DH keeps wanting to buy me a new "fancy" machine but I don't want it. I wouldn't part with my FW if my life depended on it. It's one of the first things I'd grab in a fire. Get one! An original one... not one of the plastic reproductions on the market now -- IMHO.
