I have three Janomes, two are emb. machines that I use all the time for emb. , quilt, and piecing. the third one is a smaller Janome to take to class because it is light in weight and easy to carry. I do not have room for any more at this time.

I'll join in here,
I proudly have a Janome 6600 named 'Lucy'- use her for everything!
A janome 11,000SE named 'Rose' - used mainly for embroidering
My daughter & I share a Janome 3160 (no name yet) - she's uses it for everyday sewing I take it to classes and retreats.
Then my dad just gave me 2 vintage Western Electric machines. I have to do done research on them. But the big one is dated 1916!

I have 7 machines and I switch them around every couple of months. 3 Featherweights that l use for piecing, my moms old Kenmore, a Rocketeer with 20 pretty cams, a Brother for general stitching and clothing repairs and my Serger. I think I have reached my space limit!

I have 11, eight of which can be considered vintage. All workable with one exception, a gift 15-91 that has no hook or bobbin case. I need to either find those, or give it up. The 185K I just bought and it was in working order, but the belt was so deteriorated that it fell apart the next day. The newest and most used are my Kenmore/Janome 385.1606 computerized and a Brother PQ1500s for quilting, but I love piecing on it too. I also use one of my two treadles when the power is out. Two yrs. ago, this date, it was out for 12 days. The year before, the Dericho came through and it was out for 8 days.
