WOW-I would love to see where you put 30 machines. My little sewing room is stuffed to the walls with only 8.

Oh yes, we used to go drag racing all summer until he became diabetic and too busy! Now when he gets a chance he likes to go shooting ( just for fun) and he's restoring a 1968 AMC Rebel which I'm in love with! hee hee

Right now they are in the bedroom on a shelf above the closet, in every corner of all the other rooms and also at our upholstery shop! he hee When we get a chance we're building living quarters in part of our shop building and when we get to it and get it like we want they will be on shelves on one big wall in our living room for me to look at and rub and polish! Hubby will get them all in running condition , which most are and oiled for me, he said. hee hee
