Glenn,

I've got at least 60+ machines. My record book goes well into the 80s but many have been rehomed.

My favorite genre is treadles. But due to space problems I don't get to use them as much as I would like to.
My favorite machine is the Singer 66. I have 3 in treadles and a number of e-machines.

I also like the old American made White machines that rotate opposite from all the others. Especially the colored crinkle paint ones. They sew so nice and are very well made machines.

I'm also into SEWMOR machines. I've got a small collection going and always go for those when I see them.

To date I've made 2 complete quilts, well I made the tops, and assisted my wife in quilting them. 2 other queen size quite tops that aren't finished yet, and a lap quilt.
I've also made an unknown number of my Whacky Bags, several sewing machine covers for the wooden cabinets, and three or four quilted covers for portable machines.

I'm not really sure what direction I'm going with the machines. I should specialize, but haven't found that nitch I want yet.

Joe
