I have 2 and love them for piecing. I take them to retreats and classes. That being said, I use my Janome or one of my vintage machines at home. I have a couple of treadles and a Singer 15-91 that I love for machine quilting. I think the FWs have their place and are good at what they do. I wouldn't want one for my only machine, but I plan on keeping Phoebe and Fiona around for as long as I'm around.
