Grammahunt! My dh says that the FW helps him fall asleep and has no trouble with me sewing late at night with it. He doesn't so much like my Pfaff for the same reason - too loud - but I do like the IDT...
There's nothing like the stitch that a straight stitch only machine will give you. It's simple physics and usually the beginning of vintage sewing machine addiction.
