I have seven machines of various sorts. I did sell a couple of the ones I had a couple of years ago-but I rather miss them. I just enjoy having and using them. There is no reason to have several-but why not if they are just fun and comfortable to have? I don't have a lot of clothes and we have one older vehicle and that too is OK. Just enjoy things that make you contented in life-for me it is machines, fabric and thread.
