I have three. One for the house, one to take to Retreats, etc. And one I have torn completely and plan to repaint it baby pink. I can't afford one of those already done! I used to sew on a Janome and have a Viking SE that you can do anything on and it sews good but, to me the FW sews the straightest and prettiest stiches. I'm giving my Janome to my granddaughter and I sew on the FW every day I piece a quilt. I absolutely love the way it sounds. Not one piece of plastic in it!
