Well my Daughter got home Monday and her first day of school is Wed (only the 7th graders went to school today..she is 8th grade)

So I spent all day making her bag. I started sewing it on my 2 year old Janome and was having tension issues. So I tore that machine apart and cleaned it all up and got out my FW. WOW...not a complaint when I sewed over lots of layers and stiff interfacing.

My poor Janome when I was making my oldest daughter a bag, broke her needle. That is what I think contributed to the tension issues. But My FW didn't even notice..LOL I am so loving this machine.
