I have a 1979 Sears Kenmore, a Husqvarna/Viking Scandinavia 300 embroidery machine/a Sears serger, a HV Quilter's Dream with Inspira 10' quilting frame, and an old Free Westinghouse. An embroidery machine that has larger hoops would be nice, but for now, I'm satisfied.

I have a Janome 6600P which I love! I sold my Bernina 150 to my Mom and I miss it. I bought the 6600P because I could not afford a new comparable Bernina. I have have an HQ 16 and would recommend both!

12. Too many to mention.
Most expensive was the designer 2. Gave over
$3,000 for it and the customizing/digitizing/reader writer box that you need to go with it.

Who can actually afford to buy the ones that are over $3000.00?

I have a Viking 6570 (1979)
Singer 206 (1950's)
Singer 221 (1948) - featherweight
singer 221 (1951) - featherweight
Singer ? treadle that I will be getting ready to use soon
Kenmore 158 (1960?)
Kenmore 148 (1950's)
a serger that I use for making clothing
and my DH is considering getting me a longarm machine, though I am not sure I want one. It will be a long term discussion before we invest in that.

Why so many? The featherweights trade off going with me to classes I teach. I have two daughters who want machines. I have found that it is easier on the pocketbook to find an old machine and clean and service it than to buy new ones that have to go to a serviceman/computer guru to be fixed when they inexitably break down. (I worked on computers for several years before I was able to be home with my family. I know.) Aside from the Viking and serger (both metal with a few plastic parts), all are metal, and very easy to take care of. I have even gotten my DH interested in the process. And if we can do something together, so much the better. I enjoy working with him on the machines.
