I have 20 Machines:
4 Vintage/Antique Singer Treadles (3 in cabinets, 1 without a cabinet)
1 Singer Model 301A with cabinet
3 Featherweights 221's (one I keep - the other 2 I will be selling)
1 Singer Model 132Q Portable (which I will be selling)
1 Singer Model 6232 Portable (which I will be selling)
1 Bernina Model 800DL Serger (might be selling)
1 Juki Model DDL8700 Industrial Straight Stitch
1 Juki Model TL98 Q (which I generally use for most sewing)
1 Kenmore Model 1914 Zig Zag w/Embroidery Cams (which I will be selling)
1 Necchi BU Nova **Solid Workhorses** (bought as a Collective Investment - hard to find in such good condition and worth the investment)
1 Necchi Supernova Automatica Zig Zag with Embroidery Cams ** Another Workhorse ** (bought as a Collective Investment - another hard to find in such good condition)
1 Elna #1 (also known as "The Grasshopper) in near mint condition (bought as Collective Investment - also hard to find in such good condition)
2 Elna Supermatic Zig Zag with Embroidery Cams both in near mint condition (bought as Collective Investment)
1 Innova 18" Long Arm Quilting Machine with 12 Foot Quilting Frame - my Special "Baby" which helps me finish my creations.
All of the above machine have their "individual quirks" and all have something(s) they do better than others.
It's those "do better" than the others that give me the ability to enjoy working with each of them at different times and even when the whim hits me to use something different.
As they often say, a change can be as good as a rest.
