Yes, shop, you need a backup machine. No joke, you NEED backup.

I have 6 DSM's, three of which need work. I also have a 17" Voyager and 10' Hinterberg frame...technically an inch short of being a long arm, but is does the job!

Well lets see here I have 19 machines in my studio that I use all the time and I have 6 that I will not use because they are super nice museum quality machines. And they range from 1871-1963 and all but two are treadle operated.

A quilter can never have to many sewing machine. Its like a carpender how many saw's does he have. How many brushes
does a painter need. I have 8 sewing and embroidery machine.
some I use 2 at a time. some I loan out when family need to get there repaired.

I have just gotten my 5th machine for Christmas...A 1939 Featherweight! What a wonderful Hubby!!!

I have the Husqvarna Sapphire 830 as my main machine, a small Janome to take to classes, a Baby Lock embroidery machine, and a Singer RedEye Treadle that I want to get to know how to use for when we are watching TV in the family room...

Last time I took my machine in for a "tune up" it was in the shop for over a week!!! Would have been horrible if I didn't have my other "babies"!!

How do you go about selling your old machine? Do you use ebay?

My husband says too many! I have 8 and picking up another on Saturday! All but two run and I will be fixing them up in the spring. I would like to have a walking foot for one or two more of them, but just have one for the Janome. I will be working on that though! Would love to get one for the 1959 Husqvarna!
