Well! guess I need to join in on this thread.

first I have a wee little machine which I think is 5 by 7" runs on battery's and while it has a pretty good stitch, the gals at guild complain that it's too noisy,, it's not noisy, it just sounds disgusting after a while.

Then I have:

2, Brother

3, Bernette H 70

4, Singer Serger,

5, New Home Treadle, for sale.. from 1920-1930.

6, Wizzard

7, Singer 99K from mid 50's.

8, Viking D1 USB

9 Lenni Penny.

10, Old stretched DMQS... for sale.

I think that is all now.. that I can think of I mean. ROFL lol

tickles me to see others with more than 2 or 3 counting the long arm..

My goodness, this is so fun to see what everyone has and what machines they like to collect.

I don't have any featherweights, but I would love to start collecting them.

I do have:

A treadle sewing machine and cabinet (from DH's grandmother)

1967 Singer (I won at a sewing contest)

1985 Singer (my mother has lost her vision, so I have her machine)

2 Janome Jems

1 Babylock

1 Pfaff Creative Vision with embroidery unit

1 Pfaff Serger

1 Janome Serger

2009 Millie w/14' table & QZ

I feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy these machines.

:cool:

I've sewn with my Singer 403 Slantomatic for 46 years... I never wanted another machine... I like that it's all metal... But now that I'm older I can't carry it around like I could before... So, I purchased a little Brother - my Christmas present from mom... So that's two, plus my Ultimate 1 and then I also have my Great Grandma Miller's old Singer treadle...

I guess I actually have 4. I love the embroidery stitches on my little Brother... but it's not good for heavy sewing....

And I was feeling soooooo guilty and planning to sell some of my machines. Looks like I'm not as ill as some of you, so now I can keep them all!

1 Singer 221 Centennial

1 Singer 221 White

1 Singer 301 Tan

1 Pfaff 1171

1 Bernina 1000

1 Bernina 1008 (actually my daughter's, but it lives at my house)

1 Bernina 153

1 Bernina 1090

1 Janome 6500

1 Bernette Serger

1 Bernette (301??) embroidery only machine

1 Wilcox and Gibbs

1 Freedom SR

And I've really been thinking I might need a Juki TL98Q or Brother PQ1500 for domestic style machine quilting. Anybody have any experience with these two? More room under the head of the machine is one of the reasons I bought the Janome 6500, but I hate the drop-in bobbin.

Hey Sandra,

I have a 1951 Tuxedo front Featherweight (black) with all the attachments. I discovered you are either a FW user or you are not. I'm a not. It needs a good home where someone will appreciate it. I have a Millie, Pfaff serger, Pfaff 62 something and a Singer 401 it was Mom's machine. My husband thinks I have way to many. I can't wait to tell him about your 26! BTW he was born and raised in Bogalusa.
