1942 Singer Treadle in almost perfect condition.
1945 Singer in a bent wood case, beautiful.
1977 Singer standard. ( this one is my first sewing machine, and it still works great )
2009 Husqvarna viking Platinum 955 E with embroidery module and 5D extra plus software
2010 Husqvarna viking 936 huskylock serger
2011 Bernina 280 with all the extras (the machine I take to classes and seminars)
2013 Juki longarm on a 12 foot frame.
2012 Grace Z44 Pro hand quilting frame ( king size )
Total Machines = 6
Over the years I have had some others too, but sold them or gave them away.

PFAFF serger, that I recently learned to thread. A small Janome ( Harmony 2039) that I'm giving to my DIL to do basic stuff... Bought to take to class, but never went..but even that one threads itself....

I have only been quilting about a year and love an old Pfaff that I inherited about 15 years ago but never took the opportunity to use it until I started quilting in November 2011... then I bought a new Janome 6600 and, once again, fell in love (especially with all of the new features). I also have a JC Penney machine that I bought when I moved out of my parents' house when I was nineteen. I used to sew costumes and crafts on it when my boys were young... I think it still works.
Until I get a long arm, I don't think I need another machine...

I have you all beat : ) as I have not one sewing machine.
Let me explain.
I had a Babylock Quest, and got such a great deal on the Serenade that I put it on lay away. Then my hubby got in this horrible m/c accident, and at the same time I was making our daughters wedding dress. I got the dress done in time for the wedding, and finally dh was able to come home from rehab. I put my machine on Craigslist so I could get my new machine. Sold it in 1 day. But like a dummy I held off getting the machine out of lay away right away, as I was busy with dh and some of his medications have been over the top $$ wise. So now I am short the money for my new machine. But ... tis fine, things will smooth out soon I am hoping and I can go and get my new machine and start quilting again.

Haha, my name is Pam and I'm a (sewing) addict. I have a Sweet 16, 2 featherweights, a singer Athena (fairly new), an original Singer athena, a brother, a 1948 Singer 66, and probably half a dozen not fully functional sewing machines in the attic (which I need to get rid of or fix). Yeah, I have issues.
