I have one made right after WW2. It was bought new by my Mother. I grew up watching her sew with it. You might say she is my little sister. I have all her attachments, original owners manual and case. Mother had the card table but threw it away years ago. She hated to sew and never taught me, but I learned after I married.

Yes, I have one and just love it. I got it about 12 years ago on ebay from a lady in Canada. With shipping I paid about $168. It goes to classes and as even been on a quilting cruise.

I love this thread! Thanks for starting it, Craftybear! Hope you adopt one soon.
A couple of people mentioned taking a course on FW's. Is this something local, or on the net? I would love to know more about maintaining my machine. My DH does a wonderful job, but is sometimes not available when needed and I hate to wait! Any info about a course would be appreciated!
