I love sewing machines. They are so much fun to run. My favorite time in sewing is when I get to put the presser foot down and hit the gas. Until I joined this board, I never thought about having more than one machine. Now I have lots of different machines. I have three Singers, a 3400 XL, a 401A, and a 15 hand crank. I also have a Bernina 1530, a Brother PE770 (embroidery only) and a Juki serger. Two of these machines were given to me by friends because they needed new homes. I will never turn down a free machine.
