I have eight machines but when I can, I have only used one singer. Some in cases are much too heavy for me to lug around and try to see if the even sew but they were all either cheap or given too me. my house is full of machines. I really don't have a space too keep them but I want too keep them and if I can get my carpul tunnel fixed and nothing else happens too me, I plan on going too take some classes as I just can't seem too grasp how too start a quilt my myself and right now I can't cut anything with my hand the way it is.
