Once these machines are given a "little love" they just reward us with a great sewing expierence. I love mine and such a perfect straight stitch. Have a good weekend.

My daughter sent me a FW and I have been cleaning and polishing it. It is cute and tiny. I have ordered a new belt and some of the rubber feet, well everything rubber except the wiring. The wiring was good. It is a 1947, just one year newer than me.

Mine is from 1954 and looks like the same type we used in school required (8th grade) sewing class. It was one of two electric machines they had. The rest were treadle.
