I'm really enjoying hearing everyone's responses. I do plan to keep my little FW jewel and use her in the RV for piecing. Perhaps we will bond eventually and she will become a go to machine for classes too. But for now I am looking forward to working on my newer machines. Thank you all for sharing your experiences with me. It's nice to know it is not just me and to those who sew on Vintage machines thank you for sharing how much you love them.
