I have a Viking serger but I can only do a 4-thread overlock, the screen is not fully operating; a Viking Designer 1 and its screen is not working (all started in 2011), Janome Platinum Plus which is working and I recently purchased a Viking Sophia for $50, strictly a plain machine no whistles and bells. I will not purchase any more. The Janome I use for quilting classes and the Sophia I may give to someone.

I have 3 machines 2 work one doesn't I keep thinking about an embroidery machine but just cant justify buying one. I have congestive heart failure one ususally only lives 5 years with this condition my 5 years were up 6 months ago. I thank god everyday for the extra time he has given me but again can't justify spending that kind of money when I know I probably won't be around to use it and none of my kids sew

After a heart attack (CAD) 15 years ago, I started thinking the same way, Well now I have changed my mind and will enjoy whatever time I do have and not waste a minute of it. I may be old (74) but still have a lot to offer and will continue as long as I can. Only go this way once. Please reconsider . Your enjoyment for however long is enough to justify a new machine.

Sorry to hear about your sewing woes.
I only had one machine until recently, now I have 3. My Husqvana Sew Easy just wouldn't handle thicker fabrics so DH encouraged me to buy a new machine and so about 3 or 4 months ago I bought a Janome 6600p then had a wonderful surprise come Crhistmas when my parents bought me a Janome mcq 7700. I am now in a quandry of another type - what to do with 3 machines? :lol:

Today i adopted an antique treadle. She's a Singer 27 from 1904 ~~
I think I could get addicted to the old gals. She's just so darned pretty!
