I have a black FW and sold the white one I had. I had not intended to sell either one, but she I know kept hounding me for one of them until I finally sold her the white one, thinking it was the most wanted. I have yet to be around her when she is using it at a retreat of meeting, that doesn't complain about it. I know she is bad about setting tensions too tight, but an extended time of sewing with the white FW machine causes the tension to loosen too much.
