I have a couple of Berninas and some old singers that I have come across in travels. I just love having them even if they don't all work. Sewing has brought me so much joy for over 50 years, I just consider them all good friends. I even have two treadles that I use for nightstands. Now that I live in a different part of the country, I feel the need to keep one with a daughter for those visits. I can't help this addiction. In fact, I'm proud to have such good "driving" skills.
