Up until 15 years ago I only ever had one machine at a time. I had three Singers previous to owing my first Janome MC6000 which my husband purchased as a Birthday gift in 1984. I kept this machine until five years ago. I guess I almost wore it out. My husband bought me my first embroidery machine, a MC9000 in 1996 for our 30th Wedding Anniversary and he bought me the Janome MC10000 in 2001 for our 35th. I loved the MC10000 so much that I traded my MC9000 on another. I gave one of the MC10000's to my daughter and replaced it with the Brother Quattro 6000D. In between these machines I got the Brother PR620 which is a multi needle embroidery machine, also a Janome 6500P and the Little Gem, which I take to Quilting days. I love the ease of use of all these machines. This year my husband gave me the Janome MC7700 Horizon as a Mothers day and Birthday gift. I intended to sell the Janome 6500P, but once I installed the Horizon in my sewing room I decided that it was never going to leave the room because of its size. Hence I have kept the 6500P to take to quilting retreats. My husband has been involved in the purchase of most of my machines, so I am most fortunate. I would love to upgrade my MC10000 to the New MC12000 Horizon.........maybe in a year or two's time. I sew most nights and some days. I have been sewing since I was a child, mostly clothing but Patchwork, quilting and machine embroidery open up a whole new world. With clothing choices and quality not to my liking I am finding that I am going back to making clothing for myself.

I am getting the upgrades for my Quattro for our coming wedding anniversary...45 years.

I also have a Bernina Overlocker and Babylock Evolve, both gifts from my husband.

I also have a Singer Treadle that is a treasured keepsake from my Grandmother who earnt a living dressing making on this machine after she was left widowed with three children.

I know several machines sound like an indulgance, but I wouldn't change not having them. They are all loved and well used. When my sisters vist they never need to bring a machine.

I have a HUS/VIK embroidery machine that is about 2 years old and cost over $7000. It was given to me as I never in all my dreams thought a machine cost that much or would bring myself to spend that much. But I LOVE IT! I make SO many gifts with it and dress up all my quilts. If I had the money, I would buy one! I have gotten so much enjoyment out of it, as well as those who have received my gifts made with it.

I couldn't quilt that well on it though, so when I saw a Bernina Virtuosa 160 for sale on line, I bought it used for $350 AND LOVE IT for quilting and piecing my quilts. I think it is about 13 years old, but you would never know just looking at it. I know Berninas are expensive too, but I will do whatever I have to to keep myself in a Bernina now. They have embroidery machines also. The Berninas that quilt and do embroidery have to be the kitties behind.

I have a Janome MC6600 which I love. Janome 300e embrodiery which I never use and am thinking of selling.
Bernina 830 which is a good machine that I really liked, last time I took it for repairs they said they had a
hard time finding parts for it.

I have a Janome HD3000 and love it! It does everything I need it to do so I don't need any other machines. That way I get to spend more money on fabric.

I have a Janome 11000 Memory Craft and love it, plus a Janome 6600. Have the use of a Queen Quilter 18 for quilting. Maybe some day I will have my own quilting machine - but love what I have. Grace is being able to buy the machines with little or no interest!

I have a Singer 223 (purchased from a co-worker for $25 many years ago) which needs a new motor and weighs a flipping TON (especially hard on toes!). I purchased a brand new Kenmore computerized a couple of years ago, lot's of basic embroidery stiches, love it! And Last month, got myself a Husk/Viking Sapphire. Got home, unboxed and embroidered the Quilt Label. I did read the manual first, but was very proud of that label. Will be taking the free "get to know your machine" class next month at the store. I don't know yet how much I'll like it, but I love the space the more open throat gives me! I'm starting to Free-Motion quilt and the Kenmore and Singer were really difficult to maneuver fabric in! I was thinking of passing the Kenmore to my daughter, but I'm thinking she may get a good Singer for Christmas and I'll keep the Kenmore for "everyday" sewing! After the class, I may be more comfortable with the "fancy" machine! Now I just need to actually setup my craft room, with cabinets and tables to work on! Always something more to do. And something wonderful to dream about!
