More than one machine
Timm, you crack me up!!!!! Let's see, I think I have 11 machines now. 3 of them are sergers, and one of those hubby picked out for me. Just got my grandmother's pfaff 130 rewired and it sews like a gem. For years I sewed with my Elna Su Air Electronic until it bit the dust. That lead to my having multiple machines now, cause I sure didn't like not having one around to sew with! And, yes they do different things. The pfaff 130 is good for a sewing lots of things, but I can't do with it what I do with my embroidery machine or my serger. That doesn't mean I dont' need the pfaff.... Likely I will use the pfaff mostly as a backup machine to my Bernina 830 record, which I purchased after my first Elna died.
Love all my machines and don't really want to give up any of them!
