Sewing Machine Addiction
#42
I have a sewing machines in four different rooms, bc I don't have enough room for them in the sewing studio. I am planning to put my Pfaff 7570 on Craigs list. I just bought a Janome 6600 so getting some of my money back would be nice. In the sewing studio I have, Janome 6600, 2 FWs, serger, HQ16, antique Kenmore and 2 antique Singers. Not to mention my toy machines that sit on a high shelf in the Sewing Studio. Buy the machine and make all of us happy.

Hi! I'm new here and just found this topic! One certainly after my own heart! I've been collecting sewing machines since we got married 26 years ago! And my husband does not help the fact - he will even pick up old ones from the junk yard! I also collect mini's....yup, we have a lot! But - Ithink you should get the new-to- you machine! I think it was meant to be!

Guess I am really in the right group. I had 8 machines and decided to purchase my Gammill - had to really move things around in my sewing studio until I could figure out where to put everything. Ended up having to put my Bernina and cabinet in my restroom for awhile (its huge-20x25) which has the tub and sinks only in that portion of the restroom. One thing I did learn though - when you have company and excuse yourself to go to the restroom - you can sew to your hearts content and no one will knock on the door and bother you.lol

I say that you can never have to many machines, each one has its own personality, they do their own thing better than another. I stilll have the original family sewing machine limps along badly , my husband foung another almost exactly like it and is working on fixing it for me which will give me 7 working machines each is set up different, but I only have room to keep three on tables at a time.

Ooooooh. I got all shivery just reading your comment. I want one of eveything! If a friend gets a new machine (doesn't matter what brand) I want one also. If there is a sale somewhere, I want one. It's an addiction. Currently have 4 and they each have a different purpose so I consider myself only having 1 ...... reallly. :roll:

Hi all, I just had to admit to my addiction...is this like AA ?? I own a total of 12 machines. They are in the range of an original from the late to early 17-18 hundreds to my collection of family machines. I have collected over the last 20 years or so from family members. I sew on my old faithful, a Kenmore. I started to sew at 8 so I've been at it for about 42 years now.

Oh my goodness, I lust for the Pfaff 4. The wide swing opening is reason enough. Like my Mom always said you never regret buying quality. If I had seen the machine before you, well...... Go for it. A real Pfaff fan.
