Jeanette I have over 30 machines, I think 36. 14 of them are Brothers. I grew up sewing on my moms 1964 Brother Prestige, she finally just gave it to me in 1979 and I gave it to my oldest DD about 5 years ago. I missed it so much that I found another one, and another one, then I found my first Singer, the 201. It's funny, I had never sewn on a Singer, I never wanted one but Elizabeth called out to me in a thrift store and I had to take her home. That was the start of my SMAD. I've slowed down now, in fact I've begun thinning my herd so I can get it down to just my absolute favorites. There's only a couple more machines on my want list so I won't be adding many more to the herd. I do have some newer machines too, 3 embroidery machines, 2 sergers, A Juki, A Euro Pro(don't laugh too hard), and a Consew mini walker.
