I have a new home that i use quite a bit, a janome in a different room and 2 sergers for "other" sewing and i'm waiting for my new singer. Do you think i need a support group??? :shock:
    No, just a large bank account for all the extras :!: :!: :!: :!:

    Well I really think i should join the help line for sewing machine addicts.
    I have
    2 singers 1950s
    1 kenmore sewing machine
    2 babylock embroidery machines
    2 babylock sergers
    1 singer serger
    1 babylock quilters choice
    1 babylock jewel long arm quilting machine
    and going tommorrow to pick up my new babylock syphony.
    You think I might need help!!!
    Actually I use them all and love everyone of them!
    If they would just stop adding new stuff to these machines I wouldn't be so tempted! lol

    Like you I have 5 machines. My oldest is a 1905 Singer. It sews beautifully! I use if from time to time and is great when we have a power outage. I can keep on sewing and not be concerned about the things my husband frets about like no tv. My next machine is a 1935 White. It too sews beautifully. It is an early electric machine with a nice quiet motor. I don't use it but rarely only because I think it is fragile in the tension. My most used machine in the Janome that I bought about 20 years ago. I love it and is is a faithful servant. I have a Janome serger. It is a power horse! I also have 2 embroidery machines. One I have always ready to go if I want to take a sewing machine with me and the other one is a newer machine that My BIL got me as a trade for a quilt I made that he wanted. He was taken with the purples in the card trick pattern. It wasn't even a well made quilt. I was practicing stippling and it had a whole bunch of jagged line edges, not smooth at all. But I am pleased with the new sewing machine. You are right though we can only use one at a time.

    I have 2 hand cranks, 3 treadles, a serger, a mid-arm, an embroidery machine, & enough Singers, Atlas, White, & Kenmores to make up 21. I seriously need to sell some, don't you think?

    10. Viking Diamond - one year ago

    Oh , I have 3 more than what I thought I had. My poor hubby keeps on telling me I have to stop and I really do try--but--somehow or other I get talked into buying another machine. I have 2 of them at my sister's home so that I can play when I get there-so they don't count- do they?? I just turned 70 last month and I decided that after all these years I can do what I like to do- whenever I want to-as long as it doesn't hurt anyone -so there ! Did I convince anyone?? :lol: :lol:
