I have several vintage machines and a sewing area set up in my downstairs, but I've been using my FW almost exclusively for the past year or so. It goes in its cute little FW cabinet upstairs and I can be with my family and sew while watching tv or whatever there. I love it. I probably love my Rocketeer downstairs more, but I can't help but appreciate how small and portable the FW is. It's just so easy to drag with me and use anywhere.
