Congrats, Deema! And thank you for the pretty pic! I have 3 FWs, but never tire of seeing others' "baby pics"

Congrats! I just love mine. Clean her and she should be good to go! I do have another that I have to take in to the shop, the tension knob is all loose and needs to be set again! I don't think I will attempt that myself. I just sewed on my FW to do a paper piecing it was grand! I would like to invest in a 1/4" foot. Enjoy her!

Lena is quite a looker! Hope you can get your tension straightened out quickly. They will sew with lots of gunk in them. Tough little girsl, they are. I had some burrs on my bobbin case that caused skipped stitches, but now she does a beutiful stitch. If you need help, there is a lot available on the Virtual section under vintage machines.
