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

I only have 3. A New Home Serger, a 1963 singer in cabinet and a Pfaff 2134.

I have 3. A featherweight, Viking SE embroidery, Bernina 730 embroidery, stitch regulator and oh a Huskylock serger. Now I want the Bernina 830.

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?

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:

I'm with you, Sister. My feelings exactly!
