I smiled when I read your post. I keep mine wherever I can tuck one in. Bottom of closets, rolling tote, one to my son, in the dining room. I put them wherever they won't be toe stubbers. Everytime DH and I go garage selling or antique hunting, I say, I don't need another sewing machine. Yep there is always one too good to pass up. Since I have 6, I usually find a friend who want's the bargain.
