I have a Pfaff Creative 1471 that I bought new in 1986 and would not part with it for the world, a real workhorse. Also have a Brother sewing and embrodiery machine that intimidates me, bought it used so no lessons, haven't mastered it yet.

Too many machines to list for piecing, HQ 18 for quilting

Did you inform him that eating is a luxury and he won't be getting that for a while?

I love my new Janome Horizon 7700. I use it for piecing and free motion quilting. I have also put it on my quilting frame for a couple of quilts and it's quite the performer!
I still use my Janome QC6260 for workhorse jobs (denim) and to take to classes.

Need a ride to the sewing macnine sales room. sounds like a new best of the line is waiting for you. Story for you my brother though it was time for our mother to stop driveing her car so he took the car- long story short mom has a brand new on in her drive way showed him.

I love my Bernina 1260 when home and my FW when traveling.

Pfaff I purchased new in 1991, wish I had another just like it. Plus a Janome ,purchased about 1995,used mostly for blanket stitching.

I was thinking more along the lines of clean underwear being a luxury too.

My Juki 98Q for both. I'm plotting how to get a long arm, but in the meantime, I love love love my Juki.
