I have an old Singer 5525 and have used it to piece, but now it's in my closet. Mainly, I use my Brother XR9000 to piece and to quilt. It has the free motion quilting feature that I use with the darning/FMQ foot and straight lines with the walking foot. I rarely use all its decorative stitches. Sure am dreaming of a mid arm to long arm sewing machine!

I just upgraded to a Husqvarna Topaz 30. I had a Husvarna Viking and loved it. However my DH upgraded my computer to Microsoft 7 which the Viking is not compatible with. The Viking is up for sale on Ebay if anyone in interested.

Billie, saw all the treadles --while at a friends party last week I commented on a treadle bottom that he had outside. He said he was going to scrap it and I told him to keep it for a while longer. I hate to see those go to scrap. Later I saw some parts are missing but I am trying to rescue it --not for me.

Viking Designer Diamond, Viking Rose and Viking 960. The Diamond is new - just got her 2 weeks ago - a present to myself. Rose is going to my daughter. 960 is my traveler - easier to and from classes. 2 Singers in the barn storage - retired. Miss Diamond is my primary sewing, quilting and embroidery machine now. She can do all. I am totally spoiled now.

I use a Phaff Quilt Expression 4.0 and I love it. It threads itself, cuts the thread, lowers the presser foot when you stop if you pause it raises the foot a smidgen so you can Adjust the the fabric. It also has a beautiful quilt stitch. It has a built in even feed and a nice free motion apparatus
