I am not a speedy sewer (love that word, but seems to be universally accepted nowadays), so speed is not a problem with any of my FWs. However, I did give one to a cousin of mine a couple of years ago (and I know that full-on speed is her only speed); and when I saw her recently I asked her about the FW I gave her. She loves it for piecing, but she had that look in her eyes telling me that it isn't fast enough to suit her. So, should I attempt to find out if she wants it fixed, or just let it go, and let her not be as happy with a FW as she should be?
Sorry, Jon about jumping in on your post, but I tend to forget something like this if I let it go and keep on reading. If I think I can help her fix her FW, I would like to, and when you all get all yours answers in a row, I could call her. I have tried several times to get her on the board here, and she has signed up, but I am sure she never reads it. She claims she doesn't have time.
