I only have one and I can DEFINITELY see the reason to have more than one....mine's in the shop and I can't sew until I get it back!!!!

I have 2, both brother's (CS-8150 & XR65T) Then I have 2 sergers, (1-Brother-1034D & 1 Singer). I would love to have a FW, but my husband would have a fit. :lol: :lol:

I know to each his own, but I can't appreciate or justify collecting sewing machines...yet. The Board is so influential though, you dears. But, I do love to collect seam rippers and scissors! Do you think I'm gearing up to collecting machines??????? Uh oh :? I bought my first FW on e-bay & have NO problems with it. Just make sure to check out the seller's reviews & return policy. I just purchased my second FW a few days ago & am anxiously awaiting her arrival along with her own FW card table, yeah!!! I'm still looking for a "white" and a "tan" FW!! Something that I can't afford right now, but am saving up for. I do keep my eyes open for them at all the antique and flea markets that my DH & I go to on the weekends. Now if any of you generous board members have either one of these wonderful machines just setting around and want a really great home for them I'll send you my addy, lol!! I'm just saying you never know, right? |
Well, as of the moment I have 20. Four of them are 99K's and i use almost all of them. Today son went with our Dd and they go to the thrift stores and I probably will have at least one "new" oldie when he gets home. He and I love these old machines but we have not spent over $20.00 on any one of them. I think it is fun to have more than one machine as one might break down and then there is one more to choose from to sew with.

I hear you. I have a Singer 2233 I think is the model number, that I bought when my 32 year old daughter was 6. I recently bought a new machine, put my old machine in the shop for an $80 tune up, and wish I could send the new machine back and get my money back. It works fine, but I miss 'Miss Missey'. I have 2 machines, 1 serger and an embroidery machine. I love them, but have come to the conclusion that youcan only use one machine at a time. Izzy has to go.

Having the right tool for the job is important. I have a Featherweight for taking to retreats, bees, workshop etc. I would like to get a Serger, but have not done so. Also have a fancy embroidery machine so I can make labels and so embroidery designs on jackets, etc. Also, would really like to have a industrial machine for making purses and heavy weight stuff, but will wait until I have more room for that. It is nice to have a back up machine. A couple of times I was going to a retreat in a couple of days and the expensive computerize sewing machine developed a problem and was not AVAILABLE for a week to 10 days! Yikes!

three, and don't find the need to use them except for affixing 1st stage of binding---------HATE/HATE/HATE them.
