I have a Singer, a Brother, a mid-arm Juki, a serger, and I am looking at a embroidery/sewing Brother. I also have an old Singer stored away.

Glad to see so many of you have many machines - it's fun to hop from one machine to another. Have 2 machines and a serger at my winter home. at my summer home have 10 machines and one serger, five of these are set up and used almost daily! Happy all of the machines work.

Don't feel bad I only have 2 because my Mom gave me the other.

I only have two also. I have a Kenmore that I got to do mending a couple years ago. Bought used. Then I got addicted to quilting! The Kenmore won't do free motion quilting so I had to buy another. Got a Jenome DC2010. I'm happy with it. Low cost. If I'm still quilting in a couple years I might upgrade but for now this one works for me.

There are so many at my house I've lost count, but think it's 13 now. Several are very old singers, Pfaff industrial, 2 Kenmores, newer model singer, a tiny Janome for classes, Babylock Ellure, a 15 year old Bernina (my workhorse), and my newest and fast becoming my favorite is a Janome 11000 with upgrade to special edition. Also have a New Home serger. I believe in always having a backup so vehemently deny having an addiction to anything other than fabric LOL!

I have eight machines, all donated or purchased from a garage sale or pawn shop. Each one does at least one thing that the other does not. All of them were given to me by well meaning family members so I cannot bear to get rid of any of them.

Two sergers
Three regular sewing machines
Two singer treadle machines
One industrial machine.

I have . . .12 Some I use and some I don't. Still have to learn how to use the treadles and hand cranks.

2 Janome sewing machines, 1 Janome embroidery machines, 1 Husky (can't spell the real name)(used for traveling), 1 Bernina,(gave to my daughter to get her started to sew) and 1 Babylock Serger which I never use (can't thread the darn thing) I don't know how I ever accumulated so many... oh... an old Singer in a cabinet my aunt gave me years ago...
I think I have so many because when I go to trade them in they say to keep them because they are still really useful... do you think it is really because they can't sell them? :)

I watched that show about hoarders and always ask myself if I should be on the show?? oh well, I am not alone...
