I have a babylock quilters choice. I would like to eventually get a midarm. I want to FMQ like on a DSM but with a lot more harp space... Nothing fancy. I will get one eventually.

Haha Jan, I vote for the latter...I have an older Juki 98 that I love. It's heavyweight stability, and perfect straight stitch is perfect.. Want a newer model though.. Have Janome LE2007DC for zig zag. etc. when needed..Have never had a moment of trouble.. Love the Janome line...Sold the Singer 403 that I bought after reading this board..Great machine, BUT I really love the new machine conveniences....Self threading, auto thread cut, plus so much more...Makes life easier...
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 the following.. Bernina 153, Bernina 440, Bernina 530, and a Bernina Serger. I also have a Bailey's 19 Long Arm. I also have a Janome which I let my gd take with her to college.

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.

Do you like your Bailey's 19 Long Arm? Is it on a frame?

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. :)
