    Let me see--an old Singer that needs a new motor; a Deco 600 that sits; a FW in its case; a Brother QC1000 that does most of the work around here; a Baby Lock Elegante 2 that does the embroidery and decorative stitches; a toy sewing machine I just got at a yard sale; and a brand new basic Janome I just got Thursday. She is my backup; hope I never need her, but she is there if I do.

    I have 6. 3 of them are embroidery machines, and sometimes I have all three going. 1 Bernina and 1 Viking, and 1 antique treddle that works, but only used for decoration. I use the Viking machine the most for sewing, but sometimes sometimes the Bernina for machine quilting because it has such a nice even stitch. Love them all

    I just added an older Brother to my collection from a yard sale for $3.00. LOL She said she couldn't get the needle to go up and down. Took the bobbin out and put it in correctly, goes up and down just great.

    I have a Bernina which I love, A walmart machine that goes up north to the cottage and a Janome I use for quilting on the quilting frame. I also got a Serger I don't use much.

    A Brother sewing/embroidery machine, just got a new Janome Horizon, and a 6 needle embroidery machine. I use them all! When I'm emboidering on the 6 needle, I'm either sewing on the Janome or the other brother. Love them all.

    I only started quilting less than 2 years ago. Have my old Kenmore from20 some years ago. Just got a new Janome. Foujnd a Singer serger at a flea market that I haven't tried out yet, bought a Pfaff Grand Quilter with the Inspira fram off CL about 6 weeks ago, I am trying to learn how to use that one. My DSL has a vintage singer in storage that he is going to get out for me. OH, I found a Viking from the 50's at a yard sale a coupoe of weeks ago that my DH is helping me get going. Wow! Am I out of control, or what?

    I only have one machine, a singer that does about 6 different stitches. The feed dogs don't retract but they do have a cover plate.
    Well, actually in the garage I have a peddle machine but we don't have it working yet. It belonged to my DH's great aunt.
