How many sewing machines do I need?????
#101
1 HQ16 long arm, 1 Janome, My niece's Janonme Jem (she only sews when here) so I use, an old Singer in basement not sure what (old wood rounded top case), and My Husbands Grandma's treadle on the way, and a serger. Need to get my new room built so I have more room.

Well, needing a sewing machine is like saying we don't need fabric, we want fabric, but without fabric we couldn't quilt and if we couldn't quilt we (I especially) might get extremely cranky. At one point I think I had 6 machines - an ancient Stradivaro (loved heavy fabric), a Singer in a cabinet, an older Kenmore in a cabinet, a Brother in a case (this machine was free), my Janome 4000, and another Kenmore (also free) probably same vintage as the Janome 4000, as it had very similar bells and whistles. After moving to a 2-bedroom apt. I'm down to the Janome 4000, the Brother, and the Kenmore. Not sure about the Stradivaro, as I left it at a swap table at the local incinerator (dump), but the others all found good homes. Now if my daughter ever comes to visit, I'll give her the Brother, but I'm not shipping it to her, she'll have to come get it.

Yes, PaperPrincess "one more than I already have"! I recently acquired a couple of real beauties, a 1901 Singer 27 with the Pheasant decal motif and a 1912 Singer 27 with the Sphynx decal; both obtained for a song. The Pheasant is in a treadle cabinet that I thought was awesome. I also have a 99K and a 66-16 (Singers) as well as 6 modern Janomes....pssst...don't tell, lol.

Okay, I've not read all of the posts, but just in case there's someone like me feeling left out with all those machines...I have TWO! My first Singer (32 yrs old) that doesn't work because it has a stripped gear that would cost me more to replace (in labor) than what the machine is worth. (I'm hoping my dad can replace it. He fixes everything.) And my faithful, Bernina 930, and it is all I need as long as it works. I don't want any others sitting around that I have to dust! So if you that only have one or two want to start a club for the "one/two sewing machine owners", I'm with y'all! LOL!
