    I am gradually trading up to better machines. I started with the Janome Heart Truth, which I then traded up a year later to the Quilter's Dream 3160. Called today and am trading up to the 6600 tomorrow morning. Our dealership will give me a full value trade in if you trade within a year or so of buying a machine. I hope I like the 6600; just needed a little more power.
    Embarrassed to say I also own 5 Featherweights, a 301 and an Esante embroidery/sewing machine I bought used to make quilt labels and do names primarily for my grandson.
    I just can't resist the FW machines; they're so darned cute! ONe is a 1947, a 1949, a 1951, a white 1964 and a Black 222 I bought on ebay from London. Made sure it had a 110 motor though. I think I'm addicted!!

    Well, I would be cheating because I collect sewing machines.lol Have over 100, use them off and on for fun. I have about 10 I use a lot. Newer Janome, old Viking, older white serger, newer Elna Serger, 5 featherweights, black, tan and white and one with the removable bed. Love them all.

    I'm a real slacker....all I have is the Husqvarna Emerald 116, but I just put the electronic Viking on layaway. I don't know a thing about using it, but when the time comes for me to be able start sewing with it, I plan on taking classes so they can show me how to use it.

    I have a Simplicity and a 1948 Singer (Unless I need a special stitch, I only use the Singer)

    theres not enough room to list them all. We restore machines so they come and go and we have a large inventory.
    Some of my favorites are my personal machine the Pfaff 1475. For heavy duty I prefer to use other machines- Necchi BU, Husqvarna/viking 8, 19 , 21 and so on. Pfaff 130. Vintage singers-many kinds. Each has it's own personality and just about when I get used to it I have to say goodbye. But there is the secret joy of knowing there is another one to get to know.
