I have a Brother NX600 which is my main machine and I love it. I also have a Viking machine that sews and embroiders but I leave it set up just for embroidery. I also have a 1926 Singer Model 66 I got for free off Craigslist - hubby cleaned it up and I use it as sewing room decor.

2 machimes, both Bernina. My main machine weighs 34 lbs. and stays home! My smaller, lighter machinr goes to classes, and group sewing meetings. My guild makes charity quilts and quilts of valor.

I have 3, two Featherweights and a Kenmore. I use them all for different occasions.

I bought this week another singer 15 in cabinet and a toy singer complete with accessories,hehe.
Yep I got to quit, right after I find a singer treadle someday. I used to think I wanted a FW, but not so much these days, so super happy with my 15's and 301's. I have never wanted a longarm even though everyone says I need one. I am happy quilting on my 15.

I have 5 machines and thinking its time to declutter...I am debating on getting rid of the treadles..one is just a treadle table with a Lotus machine...its a beauty and the cabinet a coffin that has been completely redone. I just do not have the room...its in my livingroom and we just bought a new livingroom set that will be here at the end of the week..what to do...aurgh...I do not use it but love how it looks. I am torn....we are also moving a leather chair into the sewing room so my treadle may also need to go..its in perfect shape but again...I had it fixed up but never use it. they just take up so much room in my small house.

I have four machines and three are Brother's. First one I use for every day sewing, second is an embroidery machine which I love...third and brand new last week is a quilting machine. Fourth is my mom's old Kenmore which is still in her wooden machine cabinet. I dont' use it..I lost the parts but I don't need to use it. I like having it for memory sake.

I recently considered getting serger but after studying up on them I realized I don't have a need for one with the sewing that I usually do.

i've got a few....

a viking tribute 140c--this is my newest. remember me? i was the one who had the bernina on layaway when the quilt shop closed.....so, i got this machine. LOVE IT! to be honest, i wanted a newer, "fancier" machine (more stitches). and hey, it was a treat to myself....

Viking 350-i bought about 15 years ago, when the pfaff hobby i had died...... Now that i have the tribute, this will become a travel machine.

1937 featherweight-still love to piece on her. and she's beautiful

babylock ellure-i use solely for embroidery. she's about 10-12 years old, but not going to trade "up". i don't do machine embroidery often enough.

singer treadle red eye--needs to be rehabbed--really, a good oiling and a new leather loopy thing. my dad bought it at an auction

singer 99k-my dad bought at an auction because he thought it was a fw. needs a good cleaning and oiling

singer spartan-i bough on ebay. does not work. the guy refunded my money for misrepresentation and told me to keep it because it would cost to much to send back

simplicity serger-which i actually do use!

so...out of 8, four get regular usage.

I guess I never considered having more than one machine "excessive". It is like asking a carpenter why he has more than one saw. I have my Janome which is my machine of choice. I inherited my MIL 401 (which needs to be repaired), a Viking Sapphire, which I bought for the larger harp area, and use it for topstitching, and 5 featherweights, one is permanently at my dd's house (i use when babysitting), one I take to classes, and the other 3 I rescued. Oh, I have a serger that I have had for 20 years (when I used to make doll clothing for my GD american girl dolls). I am 65 years old, and over the years, my collection has grown.

I am looking for a reasonable priced red eye treadle machine, just because, one day a hurricane might land in DE, and the electrician (my dear son), didn't put my sewing room on the generator grid. I had to choose heat and airconditioning, refrig, freezer and water (well) and a bit of lighting.
