I might actually have to hide it in the car for a while (yes I'm serious). Will have to get rid of some older ones before releasing the news. How funny to feel delightedly happy and really bad all at the same time.
I agree about the treadle: Love my 66 lotus and use it in preference to the electrically powered 319 (what a stitch!). I need a zigzagger for it but they're really rare here (I've been looking).
Well, I have several FW's - Monica got me started with the first one - and I love them all. I use them all the time! Congratulations on your new hidden treasure!
You know Mike, you can put the 319 in a treadle! My 319w sits in a treadle - I gave it a motorectomy a long time ago! The 319w is always set up in my sewing room, and I use it all the time! No motor necessary!
