You sounded surprised that it sewed! We love love love our FW’s . You will figure out the stitches. Get the Schmetz needles, they are the only needle worth their weight for FW’s. In my opinion. Just my 2 cents worth. Sorry. Go to Nova Montgomery’s FW site. She has awesome tips. Sign up for her tips of the month. You can also get everything FW there. Great lady and great site.
