Anyone in Northern CA want to part with their Singer model 99? My mother had the one she made our dresses in and when she moved to The Home, she sold it to her neighbor...for $25!!!

Something ancient from Sears that Jim gave me. (have never used it). My Singer from 1992. It was my ONLY for a number of years, and then there is my little Brother. 4 yrs old. It's all I use.

I'm down to 7 sewing/embroidery machines and 2 sergers and 1 toy machine. I had 13 at one time plus the sergers but needed to purge... I don't think I will get anymore or get rid of anymore...

12 total. I collect Featherweights, so there are 6 of those (4 black, one white and one tan, including one from each decade they were made), one Singer 66 waiting to be restored, one Singer 301, one Singer 306, one Pfaff 4240 for backup, and my two daily drivers, a Babylock Quilter's Choice (now called Melody) and my newest baby, a barely used Bernina 930. The owner took a job in Europe shortly after buying it in the 80s, and didn't want to use it with a converter. It sat in a closet for 20+ years until it was brought back to the U.S. When I had it in for a checkup, the tech said it is literally like new.

I have one Janome 6600 and an Elna Quilters Dream that is on (permanent) loan to my Mom.

I have a Brother than I do piecing and regular sewing on, a Husqvarna that I do usually FMQ on, but can also do sewing if I just change the foot and move my supreme slider so the feed dogs can do their thing. And I have a long arm quilter.

I have 5, a Brother that I sew and piece with, a Babylock that I piece and quilt on, an old Kenmore that I do repairs and heavier (like denim) sewing with, a serger, and an older Bernina embroidery machine that I want to upgrade, and I use all 5.

Hmmm...let's count:

1 treadle (Singer that needs work)
1 Janome 344 (my <3 machine!)
1 Janome Heart (never out of the box)
1 Featherweight (on loan to my aunt who can't sew on any other machine!)
1 White "Jeans 40/40" (retired but still have it)
1 Kenmore (?? model # - really my DD's and needs bobbin case - counted because it is in my house)

= 6 (Didn't think I had this many)

P.S. To the above post...I am looking to buy a "cheap" machine that I can leave up at my vacation home, so that would equal 7.

I am not counting the various "toy" and miniature machines that I own! (Love to collect these little darlings).
