I have 28 sewing machines that my husband is restoring. (some are already done) I have one every place I step it seems. Maybe DH will get them finished and we can put some of them up for sale. I love each one of them and will not get rid of some of them. I use my old ones and prefer them over the newer ones that I have.
So did you sell some machines, or give them away? I have a bunch too and sadly are still in their cases, cuz I have no place to display them. Except for my Davis treadle which is in my living room! I have so many and when I want to use one, I have to move one my regular one to set up a vintage to use, because I'm nostalgic. LOL!

can you imagine all the homes this little machine has been in, all the hours of use, back in the early 1800's seems like I read or on here someone saying, in those days if someone was lucky enough to have a machine she would share with lther ladies. If that be truth, oh my to bad this little machine cannot speak. really touches my heart thinking about it. :)
