I take my FW in the RV and to classes for piecing due to the ease of travel. When we first started Rving I took my Bernina 730 and when we traveled I stored it in the shower along with my large bag of fabrics and the projects I was working on. One day after traveling I went in to take a shower and noticed everything was soaking wet. All my fabrics--everything. My husband had decided we didn't need to empty the gray water tank that morning----WRONG and it backed up into the shower. Luckily that day I had stored my Bernina next to the bed instead of the shower. Since that trip I have not taken my Bernina, only my FW. I can store it under the dining table and it is much smaller and lighter to carry. I typically have great plans to work on projects, but usually end up doing straight piecing or hand applique, so my FW works fine for me. I would never take a chance on damaging my Bernina again.
