15 years ago I had one machine, I also didn't see the need for more than one. Long story short, I have 18 machines, most of which are straight stitch only. 3 Singer treadles and 6 heads that get swapped out. 4 Singer featherweights,2 black Singer 301s. Pfaff 1222E zig zag,Bernina 930 and the 1031(the one that started the herd), Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875. I mostly use the treadle machines, they sew without being fussy about what thread etc... I use.
I'm a quilter mainly.
