Wow, I thought I had a lot of machines. In all fairness some of mine are in cabinets and are treadles. Then again some aren't. Wonderful collection. Enjoyed looking at yours.

this is how You live in a condo? No attached converted 3 car garage? Great job with the displays. :::::::::::grannie thinking a two car garage that hubby wants might be a good backdrop for my not running collection::::::::::::::::::::::::: |
wonderful! BUT, so many machines, so little fabric left for them..hehehehe
|
I guess this means I can keep the few that I have. What an awesome collection!
|
Im drooling over all these gorgeous machines!!!
|

|

|

Great collection! |
Great job on the stash management - I hardly noticed the fabric for all the beautiful machines. And I was worried about buying a second Bernina! Thanks for sharing.
|
I am in awe of your courage to do this... I have downsized bit of my stash , but never have had the strenght to make the "sweeping" changes that you have. My hats off to you.
By the way all those vintage machines are just wonderful. |
Wow! Those are great! I love my daughter, but I will be glad when she gets settled in her job and gets her own apartment. Then...I can display my machines. Oh, and I'm up for a play date. LOL
|
What an amazing collection!! Thanks for sharing them with us!
|
Thanks for sharing your collection with us. It's amazing that they all work except one. Do you use them on a regular basis? It would be fun to be in a room of vintage machines that several people were operating at once. Too bad we all don't live closer and then we could play and learn from you how to use all the attachments. I have a treadle, a fw and a hand crank besides newer machines.
|
WOW!! you have more Singers than an OPERA!!!
|
Lovely machines. I want to come play too!!

Wow! Each "baby" is beautiful in it's own right and I can see why you started collecting. I just found a circa 1956 Featherweight at a local antique fair and was sooooooo excited to find it worked and had many spare bobbins, 3 extra feet and the original manual. Don't know if I got a deal or not, but I was happy. I will use it for piecing. Thanks for sharing.
|
Wow! That's impressive!!!!
|
I was fortunate to see them in person. They are beautiful machines.
|
Congratulations for your Spectaculer COLLECTION!!! Thank you for sharing!
|
Yes, her display is extra special and to know many did not work and was dirty and she has all working and polished but one. Everything about them is original. quilt for fun grandma G
|
Oh my..................such a collection..........calla
|
Love that red baby on the top shelf of Featherweights! I can tell you were in heaven all week rearranging things!
|
Amazing!!! I'm going to show this to my family because they think I'm nuts to have the 10 machines I have!!! I can't begin to compare to this! Love them all...you are one lucky girl!
|
No wonder we can not find any good used machines out here. You have them all hehe. I have been looking for a fw deal here like you ladies on the board find. No luck. you have some beautiful machines. wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Oh my goodness, I don't think I've ever seen so many vintage sewing machines in one place in my life!
|
Just can't stop looking at all those beautiful machines. Just LOVE the FWs, you have such a wonderful collections.
Tks for sharing. |
OOOOOO!!! I love your collection!! I wish I had all the room you have. Mine are stashed under shelves and under my quilt frame and behind my work table. I only have a few out in plain sight. My DH doesn't really want them all over the house, so I have to kinda restrict them to the sewing room. Yours look great!!
|
Love your collection!!!! That is amazing.
|
I should show this to my family. They have fits that I have two sergers and two Viking sewing mchines. One serger and one Viking were given to me. They all have different features and I couldn't llet any of them go.
|
They look so pretty, I like the way you have them displayed. Maybe I will borrow the idea.
|
Oh my, toys!!!
|
What a nice display of the machines......gives me the inspiration I need to organize SPRING CLEANUP......Great job
