When I first found my FW, I was sooooo excited to use it for everything. Especially quilting! I wanted all the attachments and I wanted to FM with it, so I splurged and bought an original feed dog cover plate from April 1930 for $90. Yes, you read that right $90.
I found that FW was great for FM, but quickly learned that its hard on their little motors after continuous use. I no longer use the FW for FM and the $90 plate and am thinking I should sell the plate. I use my 201 or 15-88 for FM now. Big machines for big work. That said the FW would be good for little FM projects, but why bother for the long run, save that little motor and use a bigger machine for the task of FM quilting on projects. Just my 2 cents from personal experience. That said, I have no idea what your sewing with it, so please take my advice with a grain of salt
