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:

I am guilty as well. I have four of them, and still looking at the latest Jenome machine which seems to be too perfect. But it is out of my league.

WOW you'll are out of my league! I only have two. A featherweight and a Euro-pro that I do all my quilting on. Have been looking at the Janomes but haven't decided to buy one yet.

Well if you count all my sewing machines I guess I would have to say 4, but only 2 I use, one is a child's beginner machine that is actually sitting next door at my neighbors and I've never even threaded and my old white that I will probably try to take to a Guild meeting sometime and try to sale as I don't need or want it.
I love both my Elna Heirloom and my new Janome lightweight.
I have to say if I had the money that new Janome Horizon is a gorgeous machine, I drool just thinking about it.

I have 5. I have a Juki TL98E that I have on a frame for quilting. A Pfaff 7570 that I use for all of my sewing and embroidery once in awhile, a Pfaff serger which I dearly love but rarely use, the Kenmore that I learned to sew on about 45 years ago and a twenty year old Singer that I've never really liked and will give to one of my daughters if they want it. I love my Pfaff and don't feel the need to upgrade. I like sewing on something I am very familiar with and not really interested in learning about a new machine. But I love to check out the new ones that come to my LQS.

I forgot to add the brand new serger in the box that I have never even opened so that makes 9.

Well, here we go...My mother's Singer treadle (soon to go to my daughter), an upholstery machine, 3 small machines suitable for classes, 4 Singer Featherweights, 4 other Singers, can't remember the year or model. a Pfaff, a Babylock embroidery machiine, and a serger. I think (hope) that's the complete list.
