Why do I have more than one sewing machine? Well, let me count the ways.
One is set up for piecing with a 1/4" foot, Singer 306M, vintage and set up to be treadled
One is set up for small quilting projects with walking foot, Elna 7300
One is set up for set up for straight stitch and zig zag projects, Belair Super Zig Zag model 929, vintage
One is used for decorative stitches, Elna SU Air Electronic, vintage.
One is a quilting machine, HQ Sweet Sixteen
I hate changing presser feet for every new project.
I can service the vintage sewing machines myself
There is always a back up sewing machine to use
