    Technically, 14. 3 FWs (but I'm thinking of selling of giving away the most scratched one). 2 vintage Berninas (use them for pleasure and teaching). 3 modern Berninas-my main machines A Pfaff Select 3.0- loaner and teaching machine. Brother HS2000, my kids' machine. Pfaff 7510, bought due to nostalgia, I rarely use it, it's great, but doesn't do anything my others don't do. I need to re-home it. Kenmore Mini Ultra, bought for my kids, but they like my Berninas and their Brother better. But it's light, small, and cheap and I think it'll be handy one day. Bernette 46-got it free with another purchase, I need to sell or re-home it. Baby Lock Quest Plus, my first modern machine, it lives at my mom's, so I still get to enjoy it. A fabulous machine for the money, I can't recommend it highly enough. Easy to learn, comes with many extras included. I wish I could just trade the 7510, Bernette, and extra FW for a Juki 2010. I'm kinda too lazy to sell them. I have a serger I rarely use either, sergers just don't excite me. I can't see ever wanting to be without a FW, the Bernina 930, and a modern, loaded-with-features Bernina.

    Hi,
    I don't know what the fuss is, but I do not think having several sewing machines is a bad thing. I wish I did. I only have my Pfaff 1473 CD now. I lost my old machines in fires, and other mishaps. I love the old machines -- i.e., like the old black Singers -- It is what I learned to sew on. I am now retired, and getting back to sewing, quilting, cross stitch, etc. I will love to have one of the old singers, or one of those beautiful little portables. Or even a serger. Never had one of those. Old is good when it comes to sewing machines.

    Hello Maia B. If you want to give away your serger, I will be glad to pay for the shipping. Send me an email with a picture at [email protected].

    Well I thought I was bad with 5, have my first Brother machine from 1972 unused , the next one was a 1990's Kenmore that is in today's garbage with a frozen flywheel from flooded basement, Lost my serger in the last flood, my everyday machine is a 1990's Bernina 1530 that is my favorite but is now on the handi quilter, a juki 98TL which was supposed to be on the handi quilter but DH says it goes too fast for him while hes learning quilting and my backup is a Brother C6000 I bought last year . Oh I haveb a Brother embroidery machine that is also not being used...sigh and please don't ask how much fabric I've acquired in the 18 years I've been quilting.... LOL

    I have machines that work well and ones that don't. Some of my "don'ts" probably just need a good cleaning and some TLC. I've learned a few things in the past couple years that give me hope that I might get them back in action again without too much headache. For awhile there I just got a 'new' machine every time one of my yard sale finds quit on me! Now I'm a bit more discriminating on which ones I get, but I'm still pretty much a sucker for any machine that is under $25 and appears to work...never know when someone will need one.

    I have a Juki Tl98Q also, do you have yours hooked up to a frame? I am wanted to get mine on a frame to finish my quilts easier. Not sure what I will need for sure. Thanks for your help Brenda
