I have 6 tops waiting. Also 1 I am quilting, and 1 almost cuts out.
Sewing Machines? 1 have 1 I use all the time, 1 sometimes and 5 featherweights. Love those featherweights!!! :-D |
Let's see I have to think on this one. I have a Viking Lily that I do almost all my piecing on, Pfaff 6270 because I like the IDT for quilting, Viking 950E for embroidery, Featherweight for classes, Baby Lock Quilters Pro for the PC Quilter I have never set up, and a White Serger that hasn't been used since I made the DGD's clothes. They are now in College. LOL!

12- Just gave #13 to a DIL (daughter-in-law). Babylock Esante for embroidery & some sewing, mostly use lightweight Brother XL7700 because it's easy to take to other places. I like fixing machines so have 3 vintage in nice cabinets that I've fixed. Just this weekend changed the cord on a 1938 Kenmore industrial machine with large metal bobbins. Was like a little kid with delight when everything worked! :-)

I will plead the 5th, DH says I am going cave the upstairs in with all the fabric and machines so I had to put some down stairs(but what does he know?). Most of mine are older and were less $10.00 or were given or like my Redeye a gift from my boys for my birthday one year and one my great grandmother bought new in the 1920's it needs a little cabinet work. My most used is my Kenmore Embroidery/sewing machine, still learning the Emb. part thou.

Oh, I forgot my DM has a Gammil longarm I am still trying to figure out how to use,it drives me nuts. But I have not used it much either.

Gessh..this sounds like one of those 12 step type threads :lol: :lol: :lol: I'll admit...my name is Sandpat and I have 3 machines..1 Bernina that I use for everything and 2 Singer backup (dust catchers)

I have two -- a Bernina 820 that I bought in a weak moment several months ago when I was feeling sorry for myself because I don't have room for a longarm and an Elna that is maybe 3 or 4 years old. I don't regret buying the Bernina -- it's a wonderful machine -- but I'm glad I did't get rid of the Elna. I discovered recently that the Bernina doesn't believe you when you try to sew without thread (so you can poke holes in a template or stencil) and just quits sewing and the pre-programmed alphabets are much prettier on the Elna. I'm not an embroiderer -- not yet, anyway! -- but I do use the alphabets for quilt labels.

I have 2. My newish Bernina and a 35 yr.old Viking that cannot be fixed anymore. I do have a serger which I never use anymore - my Bernina does everything I need to do. About a year ago I bought a Janome 350E and am trying to learn all about that - what a learning curve for this old brain.

I have 5 total, but only regularly use 2 of them. One for piecing, one for quilting. I have an embroidery machine that I rarely use, and needs to be serviced, an old Singer 66 that works but is mostly just for decoration, and I still have my first machine my husband bought me. I no longer use it, but my daughter uses it when I'm teaching her to sew. She loves the thought of having her own machine, and not having to share mine.
