    I have 6 Vintage Machines (which includes 1 FW) + a Bernina 320, a Juki 98, a Janome 350E embroidery machine,
    the Black Singer 125th Anniversary machine & a Babylock Serger with the Air Threading system. I use ALL of them
    on a regular basis except the Vintage machines. Too many, never !!!!!

    I have a Janome embroidery machine that I use all the time. I have a 30 year old Viking machine that is my emergency machine. The motor is in the process of dying in the Viking. I took it for service and it would cost more more to repair than it is worth. I would love to get a smaller machine to take to classes because the embroidery machine is really heavy. Not in the budget right now.

    I have a Bernina 830 so that's my main sewing and embroidery machine; 2 treadles (one a Singer and the other an Eldredge), a featherweight, a toy Eldredge and a Necchi that was built in the 40's! My favorite for straight stitch is the featherweight as I think it 'sings'!!!

    I'm like the 'OLD WOMAN IN THE SHOE' so many her dosen't know what to do. It's to the point that my kids are makeing fun of all the machines, but if they see one they think I need it come home with them.

    I have a 25 year old Sears Kenmore and a new Babylock Elizabeth. I love them both, although the kenmore no longer sews straight, its sort of like being on an ice skating pond

    I just have one Singer 66. Maybe another up in the attic. DH isn't sure if it went to the curb. He got it at a garage sale for $10.00 and did upholstery with it. Will have to look.

    Poor me! I only have one...a Janome 6600. But I love that machine (at least most of the time) and never regret her purchase. I would love to have an embroidery machine, and someday a LA.....sigh....someday.

    I just surprised that there are so few Bernina's. They are big in MA.

    1 Husqvarna Viking Diamond embroidery machine and sewing machine, this is my main one I use for embroidery.
    1 Baby Lock ESe2. it is embroidery and sewing, I also use this one.
    1 Serger Husquarna
    That is 17 and I sold three and have one more to get rid of, lol...I used to collect sewing machines until I ran out of room. The ones I listed are the ones that work and I do sew on them every now in then and keep them clean.
    The ones I use all the time are the ESe2 and the Diamond for embroidering and the Elna 740 for sewing. All others do work though.
