I have 5 machines and really only use 1, I have another exact same one that I use all the time for a back up. I am always looking for the perfect machine to make my quilting better, it may just be me that needs to improve.

Why on earth do I think I need 3 sewing machines? I'm only 1 person who can sew on 1 machine at a time. Then my DH pointed out that I have my old Kenmore in the closet. I told him that one doesn't count because I learned how to sew on it and I just can't sell it. Do we all have this kind of problem or do I need serious help?
There are no rules as to how many are too many!! Buy it!!!

And by the way...I'm meeting up with her at lunch to get the machine and try it out. BIG mistake...I know I'll never be able to let it go. She's pretty smart...she knows I'll love it!

Maybe its a good thing when i check craigslist and there aren't any machines.

Oh Vicki, of course you need this machine! I know from personal experience that your sewing room will perform ever so much better with 3 machines! I have 3 set up all the time, 1 to piece, 1 to quilt, and the third to bind. You don't have to fiddle with the tension, or thread color, etc.... You just go get that machine!

I had a similar problem... kinda... I have an old Bernina, bought it used, love it... One day I asked DH if he wanted to go to the Bernina dealership and just see what's out there... so we went... big mistake. I decided the QE 440 was the one I wanted, but was going to walk away without purchasing... Then, on the way out, I asked the lady working at the store, well, which machine do you have at home... (I'm pretty sure my hubby rolled his eyes at this point, knowing what was coming next). She said, Well, I have the biggest and baddest... which was the 730 at the time. Guess what I have at home now? Yep, the 730. LOVE IT!!! tee hee
