I have the Husqvarna Viking 116. Love it, love it, love it! Sews like a dream. It's very basic, I'm also upgrading to a
Husqvarna Embroidery machine. It's on lay-away at my LQS where I orininally purchased my Viking. I'm so excited to finally be able to embroider appliques.

I have Singer treadle that needs work. It had been converted by my dad and now needs a new treadle foot, belt, and whatever else to go back to human power. I have a Janome 1600p. Don't ask me anything about it, I've only had it for six hours. I have a Viking basic machine, 2 New Home 4018's that have been real workhorses for me. That's it. Nothing fancy.

I have an industrial Pffaf that I bought from the sewing factory I worked for, only paid 25.00 for it. Have a Montgomery Ward my DH bought new in 1978,still runs like a top.I have an old Morse I gave 3.00 for at a yard sale.I have an old Singer a friend gave me.I also have a Singer portable I got at a yard sale for 20.00.I have two featherweights one is a 1939 I gave 35.00 for and a newer featherweight my Aunt gave me.And I have used all of then at one time or another.So you don't have to have a lot of money in them if you know where to look. I am actually going Monday to pick up 3 treadles for 50.00 a piece, now you can't beat that with a stick,and he is giving me an old Victrola.

I have a Kenmore Sewing machine. I had one for almost 40 yrs. and had problems with the bobbin. Fixed it and went ok for a short time and then did it again. Thread got tangled up underneath the fabric. also sometimes it would almost freeze up. I purchased a Singer and returned it as did not like it at all. When I returned it they said they had a lot of returns for the Singers recently. I went to Sears and purchased another Kenmore and loved it !!! Feed dog drops down and can hit button for needle to end up down in fabric when you stop plus auto threader etc. It is great.

I have a Bernina Vertuosa 153 Quilter's Edition, I've had it over 10 years. Knock wood never had a lick of problems with it. Take it in to be cleaned about once a year. That's about it. Love, love, love it.
my take to classes machine is a Baby Lock Pro Line.

One 1957 Singer straight stitch black head in a cabinet. A late 1800's Wheeler Wilson Treddle,
One early 1980's Montgomery Ward 14 stitch, one newer on Babylock Quilters Choice 1 1/2 years old and love them all. All but one works. The Singer needs repair which will be done this Spring.
