In reading posts I noticed in addition to all the fabrics some own quite a few machines. I was feeling bad because I own more than a couple machines. Once I got 3 it seems they just seem to fall in my lap!! Do you use them all?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!

I have 5, including 2 Featherweights plus a serger. I enjoy each of them as they have their own personality.

Anyone in Northern CA want to part with their Singer model 99? My mother had the one she made our dresses in and when she moved to The Home, she sold it to her neighbor...for $25!!!

Something ancient from Sears that Jim gave me. (have never used it). My Singer from 1992. It was my ONLY for a number of years, and then there is my little Brother. 4 yrs old. It's all I use.

Total - 6 machines. 3 sewing machine machines - 2 Pfaff - the Quilt Expression 4.0 and the Passport, 1 Brother straight stitch PQ1500s, one 17 year old Brother serger not often used, and 2 quilting machines - Handi Quilter - the Avante and the Sweet Sixteen.

12 total. I collect Featherweights, so there are 6 of those (4 black, one white and one tan, including one from each decade they were made), one Singer 66 waiting to be restored, one Singer 301, one Singer 306, one Pfaff 4240 for backup, and my two daily drivers, a Babylock Quilter's Choice (now called Melody) and my newest baby, a barely used Bernina 930. The owner took a job in Europe shortly after buying it in the 80s, and didn't want to use it with a converter. It sat in a closet for 20+ years until it was brought back to the U.S. When I had it in for a checkup, the tech said it is literally like new.
I have one Janome 6600 and an Elna Quilters Dream that is on (permanent) loan to my Mom.
I have a Brother than I do piecing and regular sewing on, a Husqvarna that I do usually FMQ on, but can also do sewing if I just change the foot and move my supreme slider so the feed dogs can do their thing. And I have a long arm quilter.
I have 5, a Brother that I sew and piece with, a Babylock that I piece and quilt on, an old Kenmore that I do repairs and heavier (like denim) sewing with, a serger, and an older Bernina embroidery machine that I want to upgrade, and I use all 5.
Whatever! Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, pure, lovely, praiseworthy-meditate on these things. Phil. 4:8
Hmmm...let's count:
1 treadle (Singer that needs work)
1 Janome 344 (mymachine!)
1 Janome Heart (never out of the box)
1 Featherweight (on loan to my aunt who can't sew on any other machine!)
1 White "Jeans 40/40" (retired but still have it)
1 Kenmore (?? model # - really my DD's and needs bobbin case - counted because it is in my house)
= 6 (Didn't think I had this many)
