Thanks everyone, Nice to know others really like these cases. I have been looking at them for a year or so but the high price just kept me passing them by. Then when I joined a local quilt guild, they were EVERY WHERE on sew in day...LOL
I wanted to post and let peeps know that these can be very affordable with the right coupon. I can't wait to go to my next sew in and try it out.
I still feel kinda bad about the vintage FW case. I will refurbish it but I think it will have to carry light items and things that will not break if the top ever does give way.. I would hate to have a FW inside if that ever happens. I will post pics of the case when I do get around to fixing it up.
