Cari,
I've had Singers -- but I've sewn on others. Right now, I have a National Two Spool Treadle and a Minnesota Model A (my cousin's) that I'm working on -- I still have my original Singer my husband bought as a Christmas gift the first year we were married! Truly, it was never my intention to collect sewing machines, but my stars, I seem to have accumulated quite a few! I have: 1. my original Singer 328K; 2. Two Singer T & S 750; 3. Singer 1425 (was my Mom's); 4. Singer 201; 5. Singer 403A; 6. Singer FW (White); 7. National Two-Spool; 8. Dial 'N Sew (which I know nothing about -- haven't had time to even look at that one, just know it's heavy as heck; 9; Minnesota Model A; and a Babylock Serger -- more than enough -- any more and I'll have to move out! LOL

Jeanette I have over 30 machines, I think 36. 14 of them are Brothers. I grew up sewing on my moms 1964 Brother Prestige, she finally just gave it to me in 1979 and I gave it to my oldest DD about 5 years ago. I missed it so much that I found another one, and another one, then I found my first Singer, the 201. It's funny, I had never sewn on a Singer, I never wanted one but Elizabeth called out to me in a thrift store and I had to take her home. That was the start of my SMAD. I've slowed down now, in fact I've begun thinning my herd so I can get it down to just my absolute favorites. There's only a couple more machines on my want list so I won't be adding many more to the herd. I do have some newer machines too, 3 embroidery machines, 2 sergers, A Juki, A Euro Pro(don't laugh too hard), and a Consew mini walker.

Cari, the only other machine I think I'd like to have would be a good embroidery machine -- but my pocket book and the prices on those machines just won't allow -- don't know where I'd put it if I had it! LOL
