#24
I have my original Universal (1970ish), a Peerless (receipt dated 1959), my Grandmother's International (not dated), a Featherweight 221 (1950), my Janome Memorycraft 6600 (2008), my HandiQuilter Avante 18 (2010), a Singer 2263 (2011 for carrying to classes), a Janome 2030DC that I won at a Grand Opening yesterday, and a toy Singer (for display only).......that's 9...and counting as I continue to looking on ebay for bargains.

I have three machines, the oldest is 29 years old. I really don't have room for any more, but if a beautiful vintage Singer came my way with the right price tag, I could give it a good home.
I agree with Hen3rietta, that they are beautiful things to look at and use.

I have purchased since April a Singer, 15-91, friend gave me a featherweight, Singer Red Eye 66, Singer 301, 1953 Kenmore, Jamone memory craft 8000, Singer 201-2 (last week) and a 1903 treadle this week that my daughter got me for my birthday (found in Seattle). Looking for a cabinet for this baby. These are in addition to my 1974 Viking, and two Brothers, one computerized. Also have my Cinderella. I am hooked on all these vintage singers since joining this board. Never enough machines. Thats 12 machines and still looking!

I have a 15 in a treadle, a 66 electric in a cabinet, a featherweight, a 327 I bought new in 1965, an older elnita I got for $10 at a garage sale and my go to machine which is a Brother XR-52. I'm looking for a hand crank. Oh, and maybe a portable vintage electric - one in a case.

Gee, I thought I had plenty, need to rethink this!
I only have 7 real machines and 1 toy singer!
I have two Singer 15's that I adore!
I have one 99k that I havent' hardly looked at!
I have two 301's that I really like
a Janome 9500
a Janome Jem
and of course my "sweet pea" toy singer
still considering a featherweight, and a treadle, then I am done! Seriously!!!!
