Singer FW weigh about 11 pounds and sew very straight stitches. Some come with a lot of attachments. It's almost like a toy but it is REAL machine!

I have 3 right now. Babylock Esante, Elna Quilter's Dream and Janome Jem. I have found a few Singers and Kenmores at thrift shops and so now my 3 sons all have a basic machine to hem pants with. My middle son, 28, made curtains for his apartment. Others have been passed on to beginning quilters who cannot afford a starter machine. It does feel good to find a usable machine for $20 or less and pass it on. I really have no desire for a Featherweight but I wish I had a treadle like my grandmother taught me on.

I have 5 machines. My Elna 7000 that I use all the time. An Elna surger that I never use. It has been balanced twice and still doesn't work right. My Mother-in-laws Kenmore. I use it mainly for buttonholes, Elna isn't good at that. A small Janome that I keep in the trailer for winter sewing. A Sailrite, my husband mainly uses it. I don't want him to ruin another good machine when he sews something heavy.

Y'all are so lucky. I am a snowbird so have only one in each place. One is an old (bought used) Babylock Ellageo. I have to have diskettes to get embroidery files to the machine, but I really love it. The other is a Brother, small sew/embroidery machine with only the small hoop. I sew on a "Cadillac" for part of the year, and then on a Hyundai for the rest of the year. I'm trying to talk DH into getting a quilting/sewing machine or an HQ16.
