I love my FW -- bought it from a co-worker who 'collects' machines, and I got the case, manual, attachments, and the updated book with lots of information about it, and I suspect she went through the machine before I bought it as it runs terrific. She was built in 1937, and I named her Rose. Beautiful machine to use -- and I absolutely adore her. I also have a Husqvarna that is my work horse, and a Bernina embroidery machine that will do everything but fly. What a blessing to be able to quilt as I do, and give the quilts to others.
