Let me see--an old Singer that needs a new motor; a Deco 600 that sits; a FW in its case; a Brother QC1000 that does most of the work around here; a Baby Lock Elegante 2 that does the embroidery and decorative stitches; a toy sewing machine I just got at a yard sale; and a brand new basic Janome I just got Thursday. She is my backup; hope I never need her, but she is there if I do.

I have 6. 3 of them are embroidery machines, and sometimes I have all three going. 1 Bernina and 1 Viking, and 1 antique treddle that works, but only used for decoration. I use the Viking machine the most for sewing, but sometimes sometimes the Bernina for machine quilting because it has such a nice even stitch. Love them all

I just added an older Brother to my collection from a yard sale for $3.00. LOL She said she couldn't get the needle to go up and down. Took the bobbin out and put it in correctly, goes up and down just great.

Look up Lostn51 tutorial on cleaning and repairing old vintage machines. Very good and I betcha can do it.

Thanks, I got a manual of sorts with it, that shows how to do a little servicing, so will try that first.

I have a Bernina which I love, A walmart machine that goes up north to the cottage and a Janome I use for quilting on the quilting frame. I also got a Serger I don't use much.

A Brother sewing/embroidery machine, just got a new Janome Horizon, and a 6 needle embroidery machine. I use them all! When I'm emboidering on the 6 needle, I'm either sewing on the Janome or the other brother. Love them all.

I have 4. 2 I use .. 2 are old singer in cabinets...

I only started quilting less than 2 years ago. Have my old Kenmore from20 some years ago. Just got a new Janome. Foujnd a Singer serger at a flea market that I haven't tried out yet, bought a Pfaff Grand Quilter with the Inspira fram off CL about 6 weeks ago, I am trying to learn how to use that one. My DSL has a vintage singer in storage that he is going to get out for me. OH, I found a Viking from the 50's at a yard sale a coupoe of weeks ago that my DH is helping me get going. Wow! Am I out of control, or what?

I only have one machine, a singer that does about 6 different stitches. The feed dogs don't retract but they do have a cover plate.
Well, actually in the garage I have a peddle machine but we don't have it working yet. It belonged to my DH's great aunt.
