Sewing Machine Addiction
#22
We quilters collect machines, just like we collect fabric!! I have 4 sewing machines, treadle machine, embroidery machine and a serger. Would'nt part with any of them. They are set up assembly line style on a work table, I just give my office chair a little push and ride on over to the machine I want to use.LOL What could be easier or nicer?

I plan to have several machines. Each with a different color thread so I don't have to stop to change thread in my machine. I just move to another machine. This way all my machines will get used on a regular basis and I always have a machine ready with the color of thread I need. Call me crazy, but I just love collecting machines, they go well with my fabric stash.

Yes you need it I have 6 machines in my sewing room and I need them all If I found a good deal on another one I would get it . My husband has his hunting and 4 wheeler I have my sewing. Sewing machines have always facinated me they have changed so in the last few years my grandmother who taught me to sew would be amazed

I certainly can't argue with you. I have been looking at a Pfaff Creative 4.0 because as well as quilt I want to be able to do embroiderying with more ease than my Pfaff 7570. I am taking a few weeks to try to talk myself out of wanting the new one as I obviously can't say I NEED it. I can see this group won't do much to talk me out of it. :lol: My real dilemma is, will I purchase it and then find that it wasn't as big a joyful purchase as I thought it would be. I really love my 7570, but would love the easier embroidery and the wider bed. Decisions, decisions.
