Hmm, let's see:
1) Old black Pfaff received for graduation. Still sews great.
2) Fleetwood in cabinet, thrift store $35, my daughters' favorite machine.
3) Bernina 830, inherited from mother when she passed away
4) Little black Featherweight, $40 at a yard sale
5) Little red repainted Featherweight, won in raffle, bought 6 tickets for $5 (so cute!)
6) Thrift store find for $5 (not sure of the brand), lent to niece.
7) Kenmore Tri-Span 88 in cabinet, thrift store $40
8) Singer Touch & Sew in cabinet, thrift store $25
9) Inherited from renter (not sure of the brand), lent to another niece.
10) An old 3-spool serger $300 about 20 years ago.
11) Something in another cabinet in the garage, but doesn't really work, I bought it for the cabinet...
12) A Treadle, being repaired and conditioned at the moment. $75 at a thrift store.
12) Big Bertha, my Gammill Optimum Plus longarm machine.

So, 12. I had lost track. I knew there were at least enough for my triplet daughters to each own one when they leave home. Someday. Pus, I like the old mechanical machines, and the price was right. Maybe it's time to think about something a little more advanced, since I have to borrow the county 4-H sewing machine if I ever have to do a blanket stitch...

Meanwhile, we have three of the machines set up in the sewing room for use at all times. I guess I could think about selling some of them now. Probably not the Featherweights :)
