I just have a cheap Singer I bought about 8 years ago when I first started machine quilting in high school. I barely have room for that! I guess its hard for me to imagine how anyone has the room for half a dozen sewing machines when my sewing space is 2'x3' because of the lack of space I do have (most people have closets bigger than that!) When my machine is not in use its wedged into the bottom shelf of the wire rack that houses my gaming systems and TV (the Singer is becoming aquinted with the XBox 360. lol).

I have somewhere around 30 in various stages of refurbing. Unfortunately, most of them are situated such that I can't pull them out and sew with them or they are waiting for me to replace a part or clean them up or refurb the cabinet, etc.
I have five or six which I sew with all the time, even with all these choices. I am thinning out the herd so that I can keep all my machines working. It's not good for them to just sit and look pretty. They like to be working. :)

I ELna quilter's dream, a Janome gem silver, a vintage Pfaff, a hand crank singer from 1908, a white treadle, a Bernina 830 Record and a Bernina 717.and a Babyloc serger!...that is down from the 18 I used to own..just no room for them all!
I used to have that many because in Alaska I taught kids after school...I don't do that here in OK, so I let them go and bought some nicer vintage machines instead.
Only the Pfaff and treadle are not usable at this time.
