I have a Bernina 707, Bernina 165e, Janome 6600p, and my new Bernina 820 series 8. I use them all.

Dysfunktional Quilter 10-04-2011 07:38 AM

Oh my gosh!!! I can't believe how all of you have more than one sewing machine. You can tell I am new to quilting because I only have one machine: Baby Lock (Elizabeth).

Nanaquilts44 10-04-2011 07:51 AM

I have a Baby Lock which I love. I gave my previous machine, a Janome, to my daughter.

bettysew 10-04-2011 08:00 AM

Miss Fay 10-04-2011 08:02 AM

I have 2 Berninas, 3 Singers, 3 Featherweights,a Kenmore and 1 Brother. Guess I just need to add a Janome and a Phaff to the list.:)

quilter1 10-04-2011 08:12 AM

I have too many-- my beloved almost 40 year old Bernina 830, a newer Bernina 440QE with embroidery, 2 Singer treadles in the process of restoration, a Singer 99, a small old Bernina 820?

I also have a Super Lock White 1986 serger which I love, especially the chain stitch feature. I bought a Simplicity Frontier a couple years ago just for the differential feed but rarely use it. The old White out performs it. I have a Singer,old one,I use occasionally and Brother Runway. Excellent machine.

Margie 10-04-2011 08:42 AM

OOOPS and I have a Brother SQ that I bought to take to classes.

Slow2Sew 10-04-2011 08:49 AM

I have a Shark (don't recommend those); a Brother and a Janome. I also have an older Kenmore someone gave me; however, as of last week:

I HAVE A FEATHERWEIGHT!!! She was born in 1951 and is all mine!

haircut2 10-04-2011 10:06 AM

Designer SE and Janomve Horizon!

Phylliss 10-04-2011 10:08 AM

I hace only one, a 26 yr.old Viking Husqvarna 980 that has never failed me. But now that I am interested in FMQ, I am looking at a Janome Horizon 7700 or a Juki.

DeniseB 10-04-2011 10:28 AM

I have a 20 year old kenmore, Bernia Aurora 440, a 1956 Featherweight Viking Serger and a Brother (light weight). I love them all.

Old hen 10-04-2011 10:58 AM

At a recent quilt retreat, there were 14 ladies present, we asked the same question. Grand total, not including LA machines, we had 90. :):):):)

Joyce Ann 10-04-2011 11:11 AM

I have 3 Brothers

Georgia Hahn 10-04-2011 11:12 AM

I had a Designer 1 from 2000 and used until I won the Designer Diamond when they introduced it at the convention in 2008. I use it to embroidery and piece quilts. I have a Juki TL-98E on a Hinterberg frame for quilting. I am debating on getting another machine with more neck space but want to keep Juki for heavy duty sewing. It sews great.

Maresan 10-04-2011 11:26 AM

I have two Pfaff's and love them both. One is a old Pfaff 1475CD and I just bought it and yet to learn all the things it can do.
Oh I also have a Featherweight my mom gave me but haven't taken it out of the case.

Wunder-Mar 10-04-2011 11:53 AM

Bernina 180E and Singer Featherweight 301

Kristin in ME 10-04-2011 12:01 PM

Singer 301a. That's all I need!

Fixedgearhead 10-04-2011 12:20 PM

For all intents and purposes, I have one machine that I use. A Bernina 1008 Mechanical that I have converted to treadle. I have 2 more in storage if that one gives up the ghost or if I can no longer get parts. I also have a 221k Featherweight that sits there and looks pretty, and a Singer 404 Straight stitch, that I never use. So. The answer is, Bernina 1008 Treadle for every type of sewing I do. I love it. Here is a link to a picture if you have not seen it.

I have a Bernina 150, 2 Featherweights, a Singer 99, Baby lock serger and a Gammill Classic Plus. I told DH that I would stop 'collecting' babies when we adopted our 3rd child. Then I moved on to animals: we have 4 dogs and a 19 yr old cat. Now I have moved on to sewing machines. How do I tell him that along with all the above, I just bought a treadle??!! They were asking $20 and I thought it was a typo. I ended up giving them $40. Its still in my car...I'm trying to figure out how to get it in the house while he is on a trip! I think I better move on to something else now!! rotlf!

Landers 10-04-2011 12:36 PM

I have a Janome 660, 1979 Kenmore machine, 1947 Singer machine and a Babylock Serger and a Jewel Long Arm.

lee231 10-04-2011 12:52 PM

I've got more than I need or use. Last count was 21, mostly 50's style, 5 treadles, 3 - singer redeyes, 1 - 15-91 centennial , two 15 clones, 201, 301, 404, 99, white 77, necchi, white jean machine, elgin and one brother.

matraina 10-04-2011 12:59 PM

I have a Bernina 830 (the old, old 830) and a Brother SQ9000. Neither has a large throat space but I can't bring myself to trade in my 830. So, I'll see how far I can go with them. There's absolutely NO space in our condo for a 3rd machine; in fact the Brother sits on top of my Bernina cabina. I got it to take to classes. It's only 10-11 lbs.

I have a Viking SE, A Viking 936 serger, a Janome "My XL 23 L", a Singer Feather Weight(my dad bought it for my mom in 1940 and I learned to sew on it and did so for years) , and My great-gm Treadle, which I am not sure whether it is a singer or a "sob" ( some other brand)...the markings have been cleaned off.

Maris 10-04-2011 02:04 PM

sorry but I might win the slacker award I have one Janome 9500 and haven't even gotten the card I need to do embroidery yet! I have a Necchi but it is out of commission and can't part with it.
