Hi,

I thought this would be fun for us to post pictures of all sewing machine (machines) that we have including embroidery machines. Please be sure to write down the year and model as you never know when someone else may have one also. This should be fun. I will post my pictures in a few days.

Enjoy!

What a great idea Karen,

I have two machines up, but I can get the other two out of hiding; they're nicely tucked away.

I'll post some pictures in a few days too.

Hi Paula,

Cool this will be fun to see others cool sewing machines. Thanks and please others start posting your pictures so we can enjoy!

Karen

No pics yet? :cry:

OK I'll go first. :lol:

way to go marsye, what real machines do you have, that is a cute picture, made me laugh

Karen

That one looks better than mine. LOL

OK Marsye, you really DON'T have to wear a dress, hose and heels when you sew.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Maryse... you are so funny! Thanks for the laugh! :mrgreen:

ok, this isn't all of them but these are the best (oh and none of my "new" machines)

6. 99-13 3/4 size 1925
7. 401 1961

10. 221 Featherweight (1956)
11. 66 redeye treadle back-clamping 1920

Wow, that "1963 Kenmore Rare Pearl Iris color" looks like a work of art! Beautiful!

Eddie it is a true pearl paint on the machine. It's a lavender with red pearl over tones and a clear over it.

Back when this paint was made they used fish scales to come up with the pearl effect. So this was a very expensive color to use and there were less than 3500 of these machines made this model and color.

Billy

It certainly is beautiful, if I had it I think I would be content to sit and look at it like a fine painting. :D It kind of reminds me of those finned cars from the late 1950s when car makers were taking cars to a true art piece. Sleek and beautiful.

I love lavender so if you ever decide you don't want it, I can give you my address.

It's absolutely to die for, I've never seen one before and doubt I ever will again ... what a beauty!

My machines are just regular ole' machines :oops: but I love each of them - one in particular...

WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh are you still awake Joyce? :lol:

Thats a red robe (and if you'll notice ...no bra) and I just couldn't help the heels. ;-)

Marsye -- you are SEW bad -- a girl after my own heart :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is my only electric machine I own, and I have a few more machines around here but no photos of them on this computer. I use this machine for fixing buttons and garment repairs, but I am using it to make a King sized quilt for our bedroom.

When I bought it it was in a portable case then I decided to put it in the Universals cabinet since I converted it to a treadle machine. SewJoyce has the case it was in when she bought my Kenmore 1320 a while back.

This was one of my better $25 spent at an estate sale! :D

Billy,

I love the Kenmore pearl iris. Growing up we had a Chevy Impala station wagon that color, they called Evening Orchard. It was beautiful and the talk of the neighborhood. My mom went by herself and bought the car without my dad, it took him some time to get used to it. One thing was for sure you could always find it in a parking lot.

Thanks for sharing.

I guess I wont tell you about the 30 complete treadles (different makes) and several new machines still unopened in their crates, plus a ton of NOS (New Old Stock) parts, manuals, sales catalogs, all dating before WW2 I just bought for $500.

Like I was saying in another thread I just hope it all fits in my 40' enclosed car hauler so I dont have to make 2 trips.

Billy

Oh my, what a collection!

:thumbup: ...... :thumbup: ....... :thumbup:

I have 6 machines, 2 kenmores, 1978 and a computer model, 1 FW, 2 bother embroidery machines and a juki which is on the grace quilting frame...can't take pictures they are scattered all over the house LOL

OK, this is my little sewing corner. It makes me happy :) and I totally love my Janome DC2010.

Your 1921 Singer looks like the exact same one I have that was my Grandmothers. I learned to sew on that machine. Mine however is not in very good shape, My Mom stored it in a humid basement for quite a while so the wood is warped in spots and I have no belt for it. I've often thought about getting a new belt and seeing if I can get the thing running again. right now it mostly collects dust!

Marymargaret

OK, did you clean it up just for us or does it always look this way?? :D

Love your sewing space and the company you keep
AKA The PINK FLAMINGO!

Yeah, it pretty much always looks this way. I'm one of those "everything has a place" kind of people. But it's just me and DH at home now. When DS was at home, messy was another matter altogether LOL.

Why is no one actually posting photo of their machines.
I am at a the Road 2 California Quilt show. I will send photos today when I get home.

I feel my sewing machine must be taken in context 8-)

Here we go....my main machine is the Brother QC-1000. The smaller machine is a Brother LB-6770 embroidery machine, which I got free as a rebate when I bought the QC-1000. Love them both!

I love all of them! Green is the color I am! Great machines!

Here's mine.

Mine is just like your Brother but mine is an HE-240 from HSN

Ok, here is my photo I promised. I have Big Mama and Baby.
