I love this thread...I have 5.
A Juki TL 98Q on an Inspira frame that I use for quilting, a Viking that I use for sewing, a White Superlock Serger, a Janome 300e for embroidery, and a $10 yard sale Kenmore that is used for emergencies. At this point in life, I would hate to live without any of them but would trade for younger models.

Have you noticed how many of us are self-confessed nuts??!! Isn't it nice to know how many quilter's have quirks like we do, are funny and self effacing and accepting, and, yes, even encouraging - whether it's debatable if they should be or not!! How lovely to be among like minded people.

I didn't answer the question the first time because I didn't think it really mattered. But now I'm feeling left out of the stream of the long listers....can't compete, certainly not envying, nor am I hungering - though I might go get some chocolate like Patrice as soon as I finish this post - and I doubt it'll be bragging, but I've got:

a vintage Bernina 810 - my occasional machine
a vintage Bernina 830 - my occasional machine
a 1990s Bernina 1031 - my daily machine
a White serger ...bought in early 1990 as the most expensive paper weight I've ever owned and never use
a wooden-dome-topped hand crank Singer that is in the attic and whose case is locked with no key!

Now you've got me wondering.....he who has the most machines is the biggest nut?? I counted one gal had 20 machines....
Now that's something to be proud of!

I have 8, not including the ones in the attic that are probably beyond repair. I have a Singer I sew on, a very old Singer I inherited, a Janome embroidery machine, 2 Featherweights, a cheap brother I bought for the grandbabies to learn on, a serger and a Sweet 16. I use them all. I think by nature people that sew a lot collect machines. At least I do.
