    I have a singer FW, a Viking and most recently a Bernina 830. Love each of them for different reasons.

    I have not seen anyone with a Viking Ruby yet - unless I missed it, LOL. A lady in our Quilting group has bought one and I wondered what anyone thinks about it, as it seemed so expensive ?

    My old 1961 Singer is still humming along. Could say that I'm still in love with it. She sits in my grandmother's antique, 3 drawer singer cabinet.

    I have 2 older Sears Kenmore machines when first started to create sewing projects: A super high shank machine 158-17032, then I purchased 2nd hand yet never used 148-15600, a nice quality low shank machine.
    Then, in late Oct for my birthday I purchased my newest Brother 950D embroidery sewing machine. It also uses low shank and ankle style presser feet, even my older walking foot fits. The Brother machine has tons of quality features I never knew existed. Its a super wonderful machine with all its bells and whistles and a large set of built in stitching and sewing styles and even has 6 full built in sets of alphabets to personalize anything, as long as you can get it under the presser foot and not break your needle. I would highly recommend any of the Brother Inno-vis style machines.

    Janome 1600 DBX, love it, Bernina, Virtuoso 160, which I would like to sell, 47 year old Model 600 Singer Slantomaatic, that I still use for teaching my young girls beginning sewing and quilting, and a little Schoolastic Singer bought off of a truck one year at Hancocks. It was a workhorse for some multiple layer sewing for my window treatment business. Also use for my sewing classes. I am now prepared to purchase a new Janome for quilting and zizzag and other stitch patterns. Using my Janome 1600 DBX
    has shown me what a fast powerhouse the Janome is for quiltig. It was great for my busines, too.

    Bernina 1080 and a Necchi. I bought a Pfaff Quilting Expressions from my nephew when my sister passed away but I haven't received it yet, he lives in another state. Excited to own the machine that my sister quilted on.
