Welcome to the FW club..... I have 4. 2 are 1947s. The other 2 are early 1950s. I love them all. I have a walking foot that I use on baby quilts. I purchased it at sew-classic and it lines up with the feed dogs very well. I probably have most of the original attachments.... and I do have an original darning foot.... it's one that I use for FMQ on small quilts. I've also used the buttonhole maker on my FWs. I also bought a 1/4" foot and I like it a lot.

I use my FWs for all my piecing and love the perfect stitches and click-click-click sound they make. It's music to my ears. So much more soothing than the noise newer machines make. I can hardly be in the same room when my SIL sews on her machine. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard..... ARGHHH!!

So, enjoy your 'new' machine. Take good care of her..... she'll last your lifetime and then your children's, and then your grandchildren's... etc.
