    Apparently I need eight, because that's exactly how many I have. I'm going to sell a few soon, though... I swear. No, really, I am.

    Need? Well... as many as it takes to get the job done. At least that's what I tell DH. I have 16 machines and DH has 26 fishing poles, so he's fine with as many machines as I feel I need. :D

    I have 19 now. I'm drawing a line tho, NO MORE CABINET machines!!! We live in a two bedroom apartment, I have one treadle in the living room, two treadles/two electrics in the dining room, and one treadle/two electrics in my sewing room, not counting the portables, or the midarm in my bedroom!
    So....no more treadle machines, UNLESS it's a parlor cabinet...I'm still jonesin' for one of those...or another pretty unique cabinet machine of some sort...

    You don't need two feather weights when we don't have one. Sell it to me then you will feel better and me too.
    What a collection, wow

    I am just a baby collector. I have a 1886 Victor treadle that I am restoring, a Singer 15-36 electric, a Singer 457 which needs a gear replaced and a good cleaning, and my 15 year old Singer 2638. I paid a total of $40 for the 3 older ones. I just want one more - a Singer 27 treadle. I don't have room for any more.

    WOW.....I have some catching up to do!! Until a year ago I only had one, and it is 25 years old!! A year ago I was blessed with a featherweight from my SIL, she didn't know what she had, just thought it was a stinky old thing!! Unless mine dies, I'm afraid my husband would have a hard time understanding why I would need another one.
