I have only two sewing machines. I'd have more if I had space for them. I am using my Featherweight for piecing and my Bernina for quilting at the moment. I have either a walking foot or the BSR on it. It is easier to do piecing on the Featherweight than to take off my quilting feet, etc. from the Bernina. I got the Featherweight to take to classes; but it is a great backup when my Bernina is in the shop. I'm always working on several projects at a time so a second machine is really helpful.
