    I've been using a Viking Rose machine since 1996. It was my retirement gift from my sister. I have a singer machine that is probably older than me @66 & it works fine for general sewing.

    I use my Pfaff 7570 My Pfaff 2056, and for away from home classes I use my little Pfaff Hobbymatic 947. I used to use my Pfaff 1229 alot but traded it to my sister for a laptop. and because she did not have a machine that had IDT I also have a Pfaff coverlock 4862 that I am starting to use.

    I piece on the Singer I learned to sew on at the age of 7 yrs. Use an old Nelco Zig-Zag for quilting. Still do a lot of quilting by hand. Anxious to get Grandmother's Singer Treadle cleaned up. Hope I can work it.

    I use a Janome 6600P. I got it a couple of months ago to replace (or sit beside) my beloved Janome MC3500. I've had the 3500 for 11 yrs and going strong but the throat is just too small to do anything bigger than a lap quilt-and even that is a pain. I have yet to do any quilting on my 6600 but I've pieced a top on it.

    At home I use my Bernina 1080 most of the time.
    Right now I'm sitting in a hotel in San Diego with my Featherweight having a retreat all by myself while my DH is at a seminar at the convention center.

    Bernina 640 for both. I am going to try my Singer 301 for some piecing, though. Gotta get the hang of the foot control since it is stuck in the cabinet and I have to use a knee lever to run it! I keep waiting for the presser foot to lift every time I use the knee bar!
