I have 3 vintage machines, 2 of which were handed down in the family, but none are in working order. I have a cheap little Brother that straight stitches only. I use this one for "sewing days". I have a Viking/Husquevarna Sapphire that I use, along with 2 Kenmores, day-to-day. I also take my Sapphire to quilt retreats. It's a hoss!! Then, I have my Juki that I keep on my quilting frame. Each one has a purpose, and I love them all!!
