Something ancient from Sears that Jim gave me. (have never used it). My Singer from 1992. It was my ONLY for a number of years, and then there is my little Brother. 4 yrs old. It's all I use.

Total - 6 machines. 3 sewing machine machines - 2 Pfaff - the Quilt Expression 4.0 and the Passport, 1 Brother straight stitch PQ1500s, one 17 year old Brother serger not often used, and 2 quilting machines - Handi Quilter - the Avante and the Sweet Sixteen.

12 total. I collect Featherweights, so there are 6 of those (4 black, one white and one tan, including one from each decade they were made), one Singer 66 waiting to be restored, one Singer 301, one Singer 306, one Pfaff 4240 for backup, and my two daily drivers, a Babylock Quilter's Choice (now called Melody) and my newest baby, a barely used Bernina 930. The owner took a job in Europe shortly after buying it in the 80s, and didn't want to use it with a converter. It sat in a closet for 20+ years until it was brought back to the U.S. When I had it in for a checkup, the tech said it is literally like new.

I have a Brother than I do piecing and regular sewing on, a Husqvarna that I do usually FMQ on, but can also do sewing if I just change the foot and move my supreme slider so the feed dogs can do their thing. And I have a long arm quilter.

I have 5, a Brother that I sew and piece with, a Babylock that I piece and quilt on, an old Kenmore that I do repairs and heavier (like denim) sewing with, a serger, and an older Bernina embroidery machine that I want to upgrade, and I use all 5.

Hmmm...let's count:
1 treadle (Singer that needs work)
1 Janome 344 (my <3 machine!)
1 Janome Heart (never out of the box)
1 Featherweight (on loan to my aunt who can't sew on any other machine!)
1 White "Jeans 40/40" (retired but still have it)
1 Kenmore (?? model # - really my DD's and needs bobbin case - counted because it is in my house)
= 6 (Didn't think I had this many)

P.S. To the above post...I am looking to buy a "cheap" machine that I can leave up at my vacation home, so that would equal 7.
I am not counting the various "toy" and miniature machines that I own! (Love to collect these little darlings).
