Three electric (Bernina 640, Pfaff Tiptronic 2030, Singer 301), three treadle or handcrank (2 Singer 66 and one White Family Rotary) that are in different stages of working order. I can't seem to get one of the 66's tension right and the redeye needs a box to hold it since the cabinet it came with was just destroyed by neglect :(. I might just set it in the cabinet the plain black 66 came in, but someone CUT the treadle off instead of just unscrewing it when they converted the machine to electric. I unconverted it!

I have a 1960s a Singer (I think 324), a Brother XR 58, a singer treadle, a vintage singer electric in a cabinet, a featherweight and an Elnita which is the hardest to use. They all work and I use them all.

What kind of long arm do you have? Will be purchasing one and would like input on the different brands. Will not be spending thousands of dollars, but will get a good machine. Especially looking for user friendly, good stitching, etc.

I have 4 but plan to go down to 3.
Babylock Espire is my go-to gal.
Pfaff 7550 is my backup.
Pfaff Grandquilter will go on the frame.

Pfaff 2058 was a mistake (impulse purchase) and is waiting to find a new home.
