Husqvarna/Viking 630
When I was little I learned to sew, and used until I was an older teen, my Mom's Singer, from probably the 1960 or so. It was a work horse, i just figured that's how they were made. Then I got a Singer, used it a lot. About 1990 or so I was having problems with it and the guy told me I just wore it out, there were a lot of plastic parts that showed too much wear. So I asked around, looking for something that didn't have plastic in it and got, and still use, the Husvarna/Viking 630. It's funny, my husband uses a Husvarna chain saw! I've bought various feet for it over the years and take it in for cleaning every year or so. So far, it's working. My Mom's still using her Singer

Also have a Rose that I got to be able to do embroidery but it has become my backup/travel machine and the embroidery unit sits at home.
DH brought home a Singe 66 in a table that I need to find room to set up and use some.
Have 2 sergers (a HuskyLock and a White) that I have pieced on, and often use to trim the edges before binding.
And then there is the Tin Lizzie that still hasn't been set up......and needs to be.<G>
Soon I will have to replace my #1 because it is wearing out and parts are getting real scarce. sigh. Looking at the Sapphire and at the Janome 6600 or Horizon. decisions decisions...... <G> Need to check out the Pfaffs, don't think I can afford a Bernina.

For quilting I use the Viking Mega Quilter
For piecing I use my Singer 401 or 403 (it depends on which room I'm sewing in).
I'm also using my 15-91 treadle machine for piecing a log cabin quilt together.
