Red face How many sewing machines is to many?

Okay I admit it I can,t turn down a bargain on a good machine. Yesterday I had 30 minutes before I needed to be leaving for work after running several errands. SOOOOOOO what would a quilter that has 13 machines already, do? Yes in dee de , I went to a thrift store. IT WASN,T my fault. It fallowed me home. I found a Bernina 730 record with 10 feet and the tray that swings around. Oh my it was $24.95. I almost fainted. It was made in 1968 and I am having it cleaned and beautified this Friday one day service. I can,t wait to play on it.

So the question IS: Can a person have to many machines?

I don't think you can have too many sewing machines! (My husband has a different opinion!) And especially when you get a deal like that!

Nope, not your fault. I have that machine and would stock up on 10 more at the price you paid! Exellent machine and wonderful deal. CONGRATULATIONS on your find and new "baby".

How many machines is too many?

LOL LOL ROFLMAO .................. How about 3 x 13 + ? = ??

I suppose you could say too many is when you can't walk through the house without tripping on them.

If that's the case I still have room for a few more.

I don't know the answer to your question but when I have too many, I'll let you all know. It's pretty far off, though.

I certainly don't think you can have too many. I think like Joe, I can still walk through my house!
