I have a Bernina 440QE that I love, a low end Singer that I use for classes, a Juki serger that I am trying to sell, a Singer mid-arm and I'm working on buying a Tin Lizzie. I owned commercial embroidery machines (24 heads) so I've spent the big bucks on those and I really don't have a want or need for anything else.

I had a BabyLock Ellure and Quilter's Choice. I traded the Ellure in on a Brother Innavois 2800D.
The Ellure I had had for about 5 years and paid $1000 for it and when I got $500 for it.
The Innovois retail for $5500 but got it for $3500 with trade in. I love it! I still have Quilter's Choice
and love it to. I would really love to have a long arm but do not have room for it so I do my
quilting on the other two machines.

Many old vintage Singers. My most used are Singer 401, 201, and 221. I also have a Voyager 17 for quilting.
What kind would you like to have?
Singer fiddle base hand crank. I just think they look cool.
Who can actually afford to buy the ones that are over $3000.00?
I can but I really like the quality and dependability of the old girls. They are really fun to sew with!

I have a very old white sewing machine. Even it doesn't get much use, I primarly hand sew everything from applique to quilting. Sewing machine is the least of what I need. What I really need to more stash, never enough stash.

Here's my list:
The most modern machine I have and use every day is my Viking Lily 545. Bought it used off of Ebay and love it. Before that I used exclusively my two-toned Singer 301 in a table. Very reliable machine. I have five Singer 301s, one Singer 201, five Singer Featherweights, including a white one, a Babyloc from the '70s, A Kenmore from the '70s, three treadles and three children's Singers. Too many machines! Need to sell some of the Singers. Neither of my daughters sew, so I guess I'm holding onto them for nothing.

Well I have 6 Pfaffs, (one is a serger) 3 are 7570's one is a 2056, and one is a hobbymatic. Then I have a couple of singers, FW and 501A, and 3 Wilcox & Gibbs. This spring I will be looking at mid and long arms, at the quilt show, and those lovely colored FW's :-) Who knows after that LOL
