I have 7 machines now. Each one does one special thing that I just love. I just got a new Babylock Destiny because I wanted to have the larger hoops. On the other hand, I still have my first machine a Singer from 57 years ago. I only keep it for sentimental reasons. I feel fortunate that I am able to buy just what I want. I know one gal who has 32 machines! I guess buying new machines can be addictive.
