My 1st machine in 1974 was a Brother. My 2nd machine in 1996 was a Pfaff tipmaster 6120 (secondhand) My present machine in 2008 is a Pfaff GrandQuilter (machine only.) Have all three but use GrandQuilter only.

I have 3 and yes I switch back and forth on two of them and have my first machine as a back up in case one goes down. I would like more but DH doesn't understand why at this time yet. Still working on that one.

I am a pauper alongside some on this board. I "only" have four machines but there is still time.

2 old machines in storage; 2 "good" ones working in my sewing room and an embroidery machine. Dreaming of a serger and a long-arm!! Well...my dh has lots of tools!

3 treadles, 1 handcramk (found in an antique shop in Ireland and dragged home),26 stitch Kenmore(my workhorse),1 Spartan (not working?), a 301, 401, featherweight, an antique rough finish singer (can't see model #),White heavy duty zig zag, white speedylock serger (worn down), Janome 1600 DBX, Viking Designer SE,Singer 15 91, and my latest addition is a 5 thread coverstitch Consew. Gave away my Kenmore 24 stitch. Like the Rocketeer, but I think this collection is enough for this lifetime.

I have 5 machines. We own two houses, one in town and one in the mountains so I have 2 sewing studio's. I have two machines at each place. Pfaff's and 2 old singers, and I have a Featherweight for taking to classes. The older machines just straight stitch but can sew thru jeans and leather, not that I do that kind of sewing, you understand. Just quilting, for me. Jan

I have 9 that are in stages of running well to I hope I can get it to and a serger. Wish I could find my sewing room so I could get to the machines to use them. Lets say I am a Fabric Specialist.....

Sorry you are having trouble with your serger. One thing they neglect to tell you is that you must thread them in order from right to left or they don't make a stitch. Good luck!

Mama, you are not alone. I have a bernette deco 600 embroidery and a Bernina Artista 180. Oh and also a Pfaff 774 serger. The Bernina Artista 180 is getting to be outdated but I know this machine in and out and would not trade it in. This fall the lightning hit it and the motherboard had to be replaced and now it purrs again like a kitten. I do everything on that machine.

I think the number of machines one can own is the same as the amount of fabric. You can never have too much!
