Here is the downsized stash with the vintage machines---
 

Some of you asked to see the outcome of my downsized stash so that I would have room for my vintage machines (and left over stash)-----I am not done organizing yet (will I ever be?) The last picture are of some I need to work on yet.....I do have 5 in cabinets that I did not show.....

do they all work??? I am so impressed! I want to come over for a play date!!

PS---all but one work----a green 319w that my repair man says he can't get parts for-----I am open for play dates!

WOW ! Nice.

What a wonderful collection! Now, when is that play date?

OMGosh, they are all so beautiful! You have a very nice collection. :)

Very beautiful how you have them displayed. It's important to have a home that brings a smile every time you walk in. It is a lovely room.

Wonderful collection!

I'm speechless. What a fine collection of machines you have!!

What a toy room!

WOW!! Great collection. How long has it taken you to collect all of them?

Wow, my DH thinks I have too many machines and I only have 3 LOL.

Ok, so I went back and found the picture of your original stash...how on earth did you get rid of so much in 6 weeks? Your machines are beautiful!

I saw your first thread and saw all the fabric and how it all magically disappeared (to me) and then saw all the empty shelves and read that you had quite a few sewing machines. OMG!!! I am so impressed with all the beautiful antique machines you have. And the last picture in your series of pictures...it's the most beautiful machine I've ever seen. All the wood carving on the cover is gorgeous. That must be your pride and joy!!

What a beautiful collection of wonderful vintage machines you have! I'm glad you have room to display them!

Beautiful machines. I have that same turquoise one on the left in the first picture. also some other vintage machines. You have a wonderful collection displayed beautifully!!!

Oh my!!! I want to come play, too!!

Great Machine collection. Love the fancy work on the one.

Great collection of our sewing machine heritage. Thank you for sharing!

Ahh! A lot of vintage sewing machine. If I had room, I would do the same thing. Thanks for sharing.

What a great collection and you displayed them wonderfully.

WOW! I can't believe all those machines. As soon as I can get some air, I need to register for a play date, too. WOW

Yes, I too love how you have them displayed. :) Beautiful!

That's a beautiful collection. Sue

Fantastic collection and to think that all, but one works! If I only lived closer.......ahh, what a wonderful time we could have :) except for my drooling!

That red beauty ought to be enthroned in glass with neon lights around it!

I am drooling and trying to type at the same time. What a lovely collection of toys you have. They look beautiful. Congrats.

You may not want to answer this, but what is the estimated value of your machine collection? I counted over 30 machines.

Wow.. It is so nice to see someone having fun.. I don't have much room as I live in an apartment.. so I only have a couple..

I love the way you display them!!! If you ever run out of room, let me know...I can start driving and be there in around 10 hours....lol

Awesome! I know how you feel. I love having mine where I can see them and appreciate them.

I really don't know the actual value-----I have kept track of what I paid----but have had some really good luck in finding them at low cost------the featherweights, especially the red one, were the most expensive......Actually, I have 46 vintage machines all together......I didn't get them all in a picture.....they are all over my condo----every side table, practically, is a sewing machine cabinet....I am a widow and retired and my children live in Des Moines and Wichita so this is what I do for excitement in my life......and the kids support me in it and my quilting.....I am so blessed to have their support and am having great fun!
this is how

Love your pretties. Especially the red one!

I'm going to print this off so my kids will quit fussing at me! I ONLY have 15....I told my DDIL that I had just gotten another (a CH-15) and she wanted to know where I was going to put it! Silly girl, everyone knows that's what floor space, the hearth, the book cases and table tops are for! I figure I can buy at least ten more before I run out of room...LOL and enjoying my "stable"!

Great collection and way to display ! I need more room to collect and display mine, never enough rm!

Wow, thanks for sharing your sewing machine collection with all of us

Are you still collecting more of them?

Wow what a beautiful display, I thought I had a lot of machines(26) but you win the prize.

What a neat collection!! :)

they are gorgeous! is that a red featherweight???? i'm drooling!
