I have several machines...and they all know that they are loved...except the serger...she and I have a love/hate relationship.
Have a treadle machine...and a class 15 old Black Singer, she is also in a treadle cabinet even though she has an electric cord. My Featherweight was gotten at a garage sale many years ago...the quilter had died and hubby was selling her stash and machines.
I have a Bernina 1030 and a 1130...they have both been retired, but the one likes to travel, so she goes with me to some craft shows and works while there. They will be handed down to my sons someday.
A Viking 555...she is a dream...but doesn't care to work on some things, so she is only used on the things that she likes.
Then I have my workhorse...the Juki TL-98Q...She sews anything and never argues...
I have 2 Singer XL1000's for embroidery...the one is retired...too many miles on her....but if the other one is down, I still am able to work.
I know that people think that I can't sew on more than 1 at a time...but they are mine, I paid for them, and I wouldn't dream of trading one of them in...or selling one. It would be like trying to pick which child to get rid of...
