Hi quiltcrazy! Wow you have quite a few machines. I used to have just one machine and then it had to go in for repair. I thought I would go nuts not being able to sew, I had to borrow my mother's. This was like 32 years ago. Since then I have Burnie (Bernina 830), the new Pfaff (2124) Jean Luke, an industrial Johnson (Lou, after the guy who played the Ingredible Hulk) for heavy materials (at a secondhand store) and a really old Pfaff (Old Polly) I found at a yard sale for $35. That old Pfaff is chain driven and the fellow at the repair shop where I had it cleaned said it was made in Germany around the mid 1940's. I should never have "withdrawls" again over not having a working sewing machine. My son tells me that someday he will have a really neat yard sale...after I'm gone from this world. My quilting buddies hope to outlive me.
