I have 5 machines. We own two houses, one in town and one in the mountains so I have 2 sewing studio's. I have two machines at each place. Pfaff's and 2 old singers, and I have a Featherweight for taking to classes. The older machines just straight stitch but can sew thru jeans and leather, not that I do that kind of sewing, you understand. Just quilting, for me. Jan
