I can't imagine wanting/needing any more machines. (?)
I can only sew on one at a time. :0)
I am curious as well why the need for more machines.
It isn't so much of a need but more of a love. I've loved sewing machines since I was a young child watching my grandmother make doll clothes for my doll.
I have approx 20 machines, all get used, my friends come to my home for charity sewing projects, I set up several machines. Sometimes I find a rescue machine, DH & I get it working again & within a short time I hear of someone who needs a machine just like that one so we pass it on.
Everyone collects or desires different things, I have never desired jewelry, fancy cars, furs, etc so have none of those but I do love sewing machines. The process of sewing a quilt, garment or whatever is more of a love of using the sewing machine more than the item being sewn. I make things in order to use the sewing machine, others use the sewing machine in order to make things.
