    I only have one sewing machine and I’d love to have a spare… I think I’d go crazy if it broke down! We live about 4 hours away from the city to have it fixed or serviced.

    I have two sewing machines. I had to have my Viking in for service and was in the middle of a major project that couldn’t be delayed, so I got the Brother quilting sewing machine at Costco. I don’t like it nearly as much, but it is a decent machine, and I decided to keep the Viking to sew with cotton thread only (since I have all the bobbins with cotton thread) and the Brother to sew with synthetic thread only, since my couple of bobbins have synth. thread on them right now.

    two. A Brother Pacesetter from 2003 that is the best machine. The thing has traveled the US and has never given me any trouble. And I just got a cheap brother serger so that I could start learning to serge. I’ll get a better one at some point, but this is perfect for now.

    Reply
  33. Haley says:

    Very fortunate to have 3 machines. I have my very first basic machine from 2003, a serger my grandma gifted to me, and a coverstitch I got with insurance monies after a deer totaled my car. It took a while to build up my menagerie and I couldn’t be happier. Still considering a second serger so I can have a black thread and white thread ready to go.

  34. shelba says:

    Currently 7 machines, many of which are a little older and parts take time to receive when something just wears out. Each has a strength and a weakness, so they sew this or that type of project better than the others.

    1 standard brother sewing machine, and my new Xmas pressie brother overlocker which I’m itching to use once the household is back to normal routine after Xmas and new year!

    Just 2. They’re both Whites. I got the first one in 1976 (but declined the Bicentennial-themed option) and the second one just a few years ago. It’s even older, but I don’t know when it was made. It came, in its cabinet, from the local Habitat ReStore and set me back $15. I cleaned it up and got some new feet and belts, and it’s great.

One serger, 2 Brother Embroidery Combos, 1 Babylock Emb. combo, 1 Consew commercial, 2 treadles (a Davis Vertical my daughter bought for me from the daughter of the original owner, and, a Singer Coffin top from my late FIL), and a combination of 5 vintage Kenmores and Singers (just because). I am hoping to get the treadle Singer running next spring once I secure it from my late FIL’s basement. I just sent the big emb. machine for an update and new hoops. I am going to teach my oldest daughter to use the embroidery machine and she will eventually take the Babylock. I use the Consew for quilting.
