I have several sewing machines.(15 total). I am mainly a quilter, I started sewing at 9yrs old making garments, made my first quilt when I was 30. I've been sewing for 47 years, 25 years as a quilter. I make lots of children's charity quilts and for wounded soldiers. I learned to use a treadle machine 6 years ago and piece quite a few of my quilts with a treadle. My Singer 115 treadle is 99 years old and still sewing as well as the day it rolled off the assembly line; can't say that about the new machines sold today.
