I have a brother xl3030. I have a few other machines, but they all need servicing.

I have an old New Home that I use, a Brother ce4000, a Featherweight, a cheapy Singer, a White, and a MegaQuilter. It just depend on what's threaded with what color and what I want to do. The New Home only does straight and zigzag, the MQ and FW only straight.

I piece with my featherweight and quilt on my Janome

RevPam 07-13-2010 08:30 AM

Bernina 230, Elna 6003, and my Featherweight just arrived yesterday!

SHayes 07-13-2010 08:33 AM

I piece with my Elna Quilter's Dream and do straight line quilting with it. If I am doing free motion quilting I use my Pfaff Grand Quilter. Sherry

Bernina 630 that I love.
Also have a collection of Featherweights and two Singer 301s.

msariano 07-13-2010 08:55 AM

I have loved my Pfaff 7550 for many years. Recently tho, I saw a demo of the Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire. I was very very impressed and am enamored of it. To bad it's soooo expensive.!

Janome 6600 Memory Craft Professional

Joeysnana 07-13-2010 09:20 AM

I piece with my Brother CS6000i. I quilt with my Singer Curvy because once I got the walking foot finally on, I decided I am never taking it off.

sttchr 07-13-2010 09:23 AM

I have a Juki98Q that I just love. It will sew through just about anything you put under it.

Cuilteanna 07-13-2010 09:28 AM

Bernina 440.

Navy Wife 07-13-2010 09:30 AM

I do most of my piecing on my Janome Gem Platinum. I use it mostly because I do a lot of piecing while we are on the road in the motorhome. But, unless I am in a hurry, I quilt on my Pfaff Creative Vision. It is much larger and has the built in even feed foot. Also, I have lots of patterns stored on the computer to use for quilting.

donnajean 07-13-2010 09:30 AM

I've been using a Viking Rose machine since 1996. It was my retirement gift from my sister. I have a singer machine that is probably older than me @66 & it works fine for general sewing.

I do my piecing with my Husqvarna/Viking Sapphire 875Q. LOVE LOVE IT!! :)

MadQuilter 07-13-2010 09:34 AM

Babylock Espire and Pfaff Performance 2058 as a backup or when I need the walking foot.

leaha 07-13-2010 09:37 AM

I use my Pfaff 7570 My Pfaff 2056, and for away from home classes I use my little Pfaff Hobbymatic 947. I used to use my Pfaff 1229 alot but traded it to my sister for a laptop. and because she did not have a machine that had IDT I also have a Pfaff coverlock 4862 that I am starting to use.

SillyStitchin 07-13-2010 09:40 AM

I piece on the Singer I learned to sew on at the age of 7 yrs. Use an old Nelco Zig-Zag for quilting. Still do a lot of quilting by hand. Anxious to get Grandmother's Singer Treadle cleaned up. Hope I can work it.

gale 07-13-2010 09:43 AM

I use a Janome 6600P. I got it a couple of months ago to replace (or sit beside) my beloved Janome MC3500. I've had the 3500 for 11 yrs and going strong but the throat is just too small to do anything bigger than a lap quilt-and even that is a pain. I have yet to do any quilting on my 6600 but I've pieced a top on it.

Boopers 07-13-2010 09:45 AM

At home I use my Bernina 1080 most of the time.
Right now I'm sitting in a hotel in San Diego with my Featherweight having a retreat all by myself while my DH is at a seminar at the convention center.

brushandthimble 07-13-2010 09:50 AM

Piece with either Elna Quilters Dream or Brother 4000D, use walking foot on Brother 1500 and quilt on HQ16.
love them all!

mlaceruby 07-13-2010 09:51 AM

I use primarily my Juki, viking designer 1 and an old 1950;s
pfaff industrial that I just love!

Kas 07-13-2010 10:22 AM

Bernina 640 for both. I am going to try my Singer 301 for some piecing, though. Gotta get the hang of the foot control since it is stuck in the cabinet and I have to use a knee lever to run it! I keep waiting for the presser foot to lift every time I use the knee bar!

I love the knee lever for my pfaff!
seems so much easier that pushing the foot pedal!

how lazy am I!!!

momymom 07-13-2010 10:40 AM

I do everything on a Bernina 153QE. Although I have 3 Singers also. 2 work , #3 needs a part.

Its a 1910 Singer Model 27 that I did a repaint on.

In fact there are 3 machines in that cabinet I did repaints on. The Godzilla finish 27, the 1900 Singer 24, and the Candy Singer 27 you asked about.

mlaceruby 07-13-2010 11:20 AM

you do such nice work!
I have about 50 singers older models and treadles
they sit all over the house
I go to auctions and sometimes they can't get anyone to buy them!! so I bring them home
the most I have ever paid was $40
need to get some belts and get some cleaned up to use this winter!
you have inspired me!
