Where do you hide them all?

I sneak them in the house (much easier when there is no cabinet). Then after 5 minutes or more if someone does happen to notice it, I just say "no, I have had that for awhile now".

DH and i were going to build a building just for them. Instead we are building a new chicken coop. Will explain later h I will that will give me more room for machines. But i do need to get better about not buying ones I'm not looking for.

nope not a record. I bought 60 something from an estate of a hoarder... I think I am close to 200 now. I'll take a group photo when I get them in the truck. This should be very entertaining.

2. I can hide about 12 in my lockable enclosed trailer. My wife hasn't looked in there yet. The shop, studio and sunroom are overloaded. It's a sickness. I just now looked and I'm now the proud owner of this http://www.ebay.com/itm/321381013865 . Do I need it, no, but, I don't have one . And the spiral continues.

[QUOTE=Mrs. SewNSew;6687195] I already have my eye on my youngest son's room for extra space once he moves out. QUOTE]
I have no old machines to place around. Just a word about that extra room: Sometimes children have to move back home for economical reasons! And sometimes - as in our case - grandchildren move in. We have had custody of our two oldest grandchildren for almost 10 years, so the bedrooms that were empty have been occupied for quite awhile. It was either we took them in or foster care, which we did not want. Good luck to you, though.

I'm almost dead certain there will be no Pink Atlas. I sold the one I had a month or so ago - shipped it to California. The Morse is about the same machine as an Atlas. Brother made both. I have a Kingston, a Brother 15 clone that if it were front tension would be so much like the Atlas it isn't funny. I think it is the best clone I have owned. I love the thread guides. I think I posted it on the 15 clone pages a week or two ago.
I'm guessing I'll see crap I hate - oops - swell stuff like Fashion Mate, etc... sledge hammer bait... BUT he also said there were some older machines that don't have reverse. I'm hoping they are all there - I have no idea how many machines there are. If nothing else I'll have parts - lots of parts.... I just hope they didn't fall off his truck and I hope he didn't store the machines in with the chickens and I hope a skunk didn't get in or some cat had kittens and I hope they stayed dry.... I'll know on Saturday late in the day... I posted some about it on the sewing machine shop thread earlier...
