I know that most quilters have the "extras" that we must have like thread, needles, fabric in every color and style, rulers, cutters, etc. But what about our machines??? How many of you have more than one machine? I know to sew you can do it on just one, but i have found myself with 5 machines! I don't know how that happened?? It must be magic! 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:

In order of age:
1951 hand-crank Singer for use at car shows, 1950's electric Singer "portable" that weighs a ton (in storage, for now), 1980's era Pfaff Hobby that I leave in work for the quilting class I teach, 1990's era basic Baby Lock (gave that one away recently), late 1990's era Baby Lock 8800 (I use this for piecing), and 2007 Husaqvarna/Viking Sapphire (long throat space) for quilting. I think that's five total. Easy to accumulate machines; as skills grow, so does the need for a fancier machine. Trading in old ones isn't always cost effective. |
I have three functioning machines and one (shh) in the basement that I need to get out to Goodwill. Looked at four in a charity shop today but wasn't tempted.
Welcome to the club! |
I love sewing machines. I have a Janome, a Brother, a Pfaff, a White and the big boy, a Juki. And a frame for the Juki. How did this happen. Oh there is a Singer too.

I have 9 sewing machines of various ages that I can think of off the top of my head (some work and some don't) and 2 sergers. I have a Singer treadle on the way... :roll:
