I know that most quilters have the "extras" that we must have like thread, needles, fabric in every color and style, rulers, cutters, etc. But what about our machines??? How many of you have more than one machine? I know to sew you can do it on just one, but i have found myself with 5 machines! I don't know how that happened?? It must be magic! I have a new home that i use quite a bit, a janome in a different room and 2 sergers for "other" sewing and i'm waiting for my new singer. Do you think i need a support group??? :shock:

In order of age:
1951 hand-crank Singer for use at car shows,
1950's electric Singer "portable" that weighs a ton (in storage, for now),
1980's era Pfaff Hobby that I leave in work for the quilting class I teach,
1990's era basic Baby Lock (gave that one away recently),
late 1990's era Baby Lock 8800 (I use this for piecing), and
2007 Husaqvarna/Viking Sapphire (long throat space) for quilting.
I think that's five total. Easy to accumulate machines; as skills grow, so does the need for a fancier machine. Trading in old ones isn't always cost effective.

I currently have 4 machines.
A 1956 Singer from my maternal grandmother
A 1959 Singer from my paternal grandmother
A 2000 Singer I bought to replace a Brother I threatened to shoot
And a Bernina 153 that I do all my peicing and quilting on.
I've had my eye on my DH's grandmothers treadle, BIL has it.
