I do most of my sewing on my Bernina 1260. I have a featherweight that I use sometimes, but I love my Bernina too much to not use it every chance I get.

Brother CS6000i - except it started thumping real loud on the right side of the machine and the thumping even made the handwheel bump. So now it's in getting looked at. I miss it.

I have a Singer 66-18 that I picked up at an estate sale for $15... and it sews great. I use it for my piecing/quilting. Her name is Helen.

Piecing: I prefer to use my Elna 7200 but will use my Singer Quantum Futura CE-200 if the Elna is being serviced. I also have my original machine, a Euro Pro Denim Delux that I take on vacations with me and piece with it.

Quilting: I used my Elna 7200 until just recently and will continue to use it for small projects. Bed size quilts will be handled by my new-to-me Voyager 17 SLR.

I use my Bernina 430E for everything. I love my machine! I also have a machine that is 39 years old, it is an Elgin Model 2468. It belonged to my mom. I used it to piece my first 3 quilts. It is a workhorse. I will set it up in my sewing room as soon as I finish setting my room up.

I have had a Pfaff 1475 that I wore out. I also have a 1473 that I use to take quilt retreats and classes. But my new machine is a Pfaff Creative 4.0. I just love it. Only Pfaffs for me.

I have a Singer inspiration and I'm eye balling a treadle singer in my in-laws attic that's JUST sitting there. I think it needs some love at my house. LOL

I do my piecing (and bow tucks totes) with a CS6000i. I must say I sure have gotten a lot of miles out of this inexpensive machine from Walmart. I haven't done any machine quilting but would love to know if other who have this machine use it for free motion quilting. I tried it on a scrap and it didn't turn out so good. I had to settle for straight lines :?
