I feel normal after reading all these posts! I have a Viking embroidery machine that started it all. Getting ready to sell it because I do not use the embroidery unit much since kids are grown. I have back problems, so hubby (bless him) suggested I purchase a cheapie light weight machine that would be easier to carry to classes. That is where my cheapie Brother came from.
Then, I fell in love with FW's at a quilt show and eventually found a good deal on one. That is now my travel machine as long as I don't need fancy stitches. If I do, I take my cheapie Brother.
Just for the joy of owning a piece of history, I also have a Singer 201 hand crank (my favorite), a Singer 115 treadle, and a Singer 66-1 Red Eye treadle.
For making clothes, I have a Babylock Imagine serger.
Most people I know enjoy collecting something, at least mine are useful! My hubby collects vintage cast iron cookware - he has more pots and pans than we could ever cook in!!!! At least I use all of my machines!
