In reading posts I noticed in addition to all the fabrics some own quite a few machines. I was feeling bad because I own more than a couple machines. Once I got 3 it seems they just seem to fall in my lap!! Do you use them all?

2 treadles (White, & Singer), don't use them. 3 gear driven mechanicals (White, Kenmore & ??) one of which I use occasionally, 3 Computerized Vikings, use all three of these, sometimes at the same time. Embroidering on 2 & sewing on the other one.

Oh, my heavens! Where do you put them all? I have one sewing machine - a very simple inexpensive Janome, but it is a SEWING machine, not a quilting machine or embroidery machine. Except for stitch in the ditch Quilts for Kids, all the quilting, embroidery and appliqueing I do is done by hand, but that is my preference. I absolutely love doing hand work, so I wouldn't use any of those machines even if I had a choice. To each his own, I guess!

i use 3 of them on a regular basis (one for piecing, one for quilting, one for embroidery).
all my vintage singers are in excellent working order but i don't really use them - i just like to have them for their beauty.

I have an old singer that's in really good shape(in the closet waiting for my daughter to decide to sew), Bernina for heirloom sewing, and Pfaff for piecing and embroidery = 3. Would love to have treadle of my grandmother's but my mom has it still.

I have 6 machines, one is a serger that I don't know how to use. I have my Domestic treadle that I like, but needs to be deeper cleaned, and my vintage Singer sews like a dream. I have an older White, and a cheapie Brother that I love so very much, and a newer Singer that I'm not a fan of. But yes, I do use them all (except the serger)
