I envy you going to that Billy!!! Have a great time!
After seeing the listing and the dates of the different machines that they have listed that Charlee gave the web site to, I'm wondering how hard or easy it would be to get a FW made around my birthday in 1945. Oh shoot!! There were just 20,000 made in the whole year of 1945. I'll bet it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Guess I'd better forget about that. :(

I'm afraid to use her much as I sure don't want to break her needle .......... thanks!

I think too, Glenn said that you could use a 15x1, and just not put it as far into the clamp as you normally would?

And I think Lisa (Quiltaddict) will be there and if that is so we are going to do some serious dumpster diving!!!

If it has a "can" in the bobbin area that holds a spool then it is a Two Spools machine.
I have seen them sell as high as $650 on ebay, last year.
Keep it!!!! It's a great machine for piecing.
