Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you do to customize a FW. I have two of these cutesies & just love them. Just wondering what can be done to improve on them.

Sometimes there are just too many acronyms. I guess I like good old english speak.

I hope you get some joy from that new beauty. I also hope that DD stays safe and returns quickly.

FW stands for a Singer Featherweight sewing machine. They are old, light weight, little, cute machines! I understand they come in white, black and other colors. White and black being the most common, so to find a colored one is rare and worth more money. E-Bay has lots of them for sale, but people are asking a lot of money for them. I saw my first one at an antique store for $450!!! Later my sister gave me one she had purchased years ago, because she never uses it anymore. (She's a foster mom to special needs teen children.) I use mine for piecing. It has a very distinct sound to it. Very very cool little machines. If you do a search on here or google them you will see pics.

You are so blessed to have such a loving husband. You will love your FW and I like the idea of naming it after your daughter. I just purchased my "Little Princess" a few weeks ago and it is truly a dream to sew on. Hope you like yours as much as I do mine.

God bless you and yours during this Christmas Season. Hope your daughter will be home for next Christmas.
