I have a Singer heavy duty factory machine, My Grandmother's Singer, A lighter Singer factory machine (given to me), A brother LS2020, a Memorycraft 8000 (sewing/embroidery bought in the early 90s), a Simplicity serger (bought 30 years ago), a singer serger ( bought from a friend who does not sew,
and my newest a Janome Memorycraft 11000 bought last month. That's 8. I use them all. I had a Kenmore I picked up at a yard sale, had a friend whose machine died, so gave it to her.
