I have a FW...for about two yrs now...sewed with it hmmm, maybe 4 times...am not impressed....a good stitch can be had with any machine if you know how to adjust the tensions...anyway, the fact that this thing has to be oiled, greased quote frequently turns me off..I just want to turn it in, clean out any lint, change needle as needed and sew.....looking to sell the olde lady!
