I have around 100 machines and now I am a bit more selective of the ones that I purchase but when you can find a Singer in a dome case with a knee bar for $10-$25 I just cannot pass them up. I mostly have Singers, Kenmores, Brothers, a few Japanese Clones, Mont Ward, JC Penny, Elna, Necchi & Bernina. I have lately taken an interest in the little child's machines made by Necchi, Singer, Kenmore, Dressmaker, etc.
