I don't have this one shown. I have the FW75 66 stitches computerized.
This one shown here does not impress me at all from the look of it. I'll take a computerized machine over a treadle or foot pedal one any day. |
Wow... that is a total disappointment. I was hoping they would make something that looked like the antiques, even if it was plastic... I think it's very unattractive.
Like clsurz, I have the Model 75 computerized Featherweight, and it's a wonderful machine. Sorry to say I can't give any kudos to my Quantum L-500, which is a huge disappointment also. |

This little machine is a workhorse and amazingly the only thing plastic on it is the case. Everything else is metal.
Say what you want but I will be dropping the $1200 for a pair and loving every minute of it. Billy |
I see it has a free arm, looks like it may have speed control so there is no need for a foot pedal. Which Singer plant; Taiwan or China? If they are keeping production numbers low they are doing themselves a favor. I'm sorry, Billy. I know you like it and if you can spare the scratch to buy them as an investment, good for you. I'm sticking with my original reaction.

Definitely different. I think I'd like to see it up close and personal, but I, too, am inclined to spend my $$ on an original.

I really like the RAF decals being used again on the machine also!

I think it is "cute" looking but don't plan on buying one. The true blue FW does me just fine.
Billy I am thrilled you are going to buy (2) and then from time to time you can show us your investment. |
