Linda, It's okay that he got the tape measure. He was a sweet swell guy who yesterday bought 3 more machines to add to the herd.

I have 12 and I try to use them all. And when my husband gets on my case I ask him how many saws he has and then he leaves me alone.

I have a whole herd of machines from a Singer treadle to a Babylock Ellisimo. Featherweight (1941). It is older than I am---and that is old! Singer 99-15. Brother CS-80. Singer Featherweight II. Janome 6600. Janome 3064. Another little Janome portable (not sure which model---It belonged to my sister.) Husquevarna-Viking Saphire 870 Quilt. I use the Ellisimo, Janome 6600 and the Husquevarna-Viking the most, but all of them get taken for a spin periodically so that I can be sure my babies are in good health. lol

Oops! I almost forgot the Babylock Enterprise 10 needle embroidery machine. I also have a Babylock Sashiko machine and a Babylock Embellisher. Every machine has its use. lol

Good response, Colleen! lol. My husband has at least one power saw that has only been taken out of the box long enough for him to show it to a friend.

2 Featherweights (1948, 1956) Carry 1 to mini group mtgs. and in travel trailer
3 301a (mocha, black, two-tone) all short bed. Will put 1 in travel trailer, set one up for FMQ, display 3rd when not in use.
Singer 15-91 in bentwood case - waiting to be cleaned and lubed. I replaced cords.
Sew Handy 40 cream & tan (chain stitch only - display)
Singer 1910 Redeye treadle (waiting for her first project - I did a complete refurbish on her in January)
1971 Singer 457 (HS graduation gift) - needs serviced, will attempt myself later
Husqvarna 203 (use often other than quilting)
White Speedylock basic serger (use often other than quilting)
Had a Singer 401 - gave to SIL. Now wish I hadn't...but will probably get it back some day.

So, 11 in all. Not using 2 because they are awaiting self-servicing, and 1 display only. Featherweights, 301s, treadle, 15-91 and Sew Handy all acquired in the past year. Oh am I hooked!

I have around 20, lol and a funny story. Hubby and I were out riding our motorcycle today and ran across a thrift store that had a 1950s pink atlas that I got for $8. It needs a lot of work but I think I can handle it. The funny part is that I had to bring it home tied to the back of the bike... and that was a heavy booger!! I could see the people laughing as we drove by. I share my list of others in a bit

I am stunned to find out that my puny little few machines I own are nothing compared to what you guys have! WOW!

My husband and I were wondering where you put them all??! I mean, we have a big farm house and extra rooms... and my three (soon to be four) machines take up a LOT of room! Only one is in a cabinet, and it's in the dining room for now.. in the way
