you have inspired me!
These are only the ones that I use for piecing and quilting FMQ included. I have lots more that I do not use but are restored and can be used.

And contrary to others beliefs (BKinCO) I do have a couple that use electricity but nothing newer than 1963.

I have been piecing on my new featherweight (also have a Janome 4000 that I usually piece on) and quilt (or attempt to) on my Janome 6500.

At my house in ON I have a Janome 4023, and for classes I have pink Kenmore which is a Janome Jem machine. I also have a Singer Genie for machine quilting cause it can handle the bulk of the quilt, the Kenmore can't.

At my mom's in SK I just bought a Brother LS 2125 which sews good, and I will likely quilt on her Singer Stylist in a cabinet that she got when she moved to Canada in 1965.

I love my 7 year old Juki TL98E for piecing and my Sapphire 850 for decorative stitches and free motion quilting. I use the Juki for FMQ, too.

Bernina 1030, non-computerized, about 20 years old
Jem Gold
Jem Platinum

Bernina is the workhorse, but I use all of them for everything.

I use both my Bernina 630 and my 830 for piecing, but mostly the 630. I quilt on an APQS Millennium.
