So why do people have so many? Do you not trade in the old one when
buying a new one, which is what I do? Do you have machines that do
different things?
Hi Suzi!
Two of them are for historical re-creation events. I had a great time
at one San Jose Historical Society event sewing up a simple

Some of us like to have different machines for different projects.

I only have a simple Janome sewing machine and a basic Janome over

I am fascinated by the fact that some people have many machines. I
have only two plus a serger, and I sew professionally. I only need
one, as long as it works - the other is in case anything goes wrong
with the main machine.

I, for one, collect them. I specialize in old treadles and
handcranks. I make mine fully functional. I have found the old

I have 18 sewing machines in my house; two on loan making a whopping 20.
Four are treadles, two feather weights, and the earliest dates (that I can
tell) from 1919 I may have earlier models but I cannot trace them. This also
includes my one lone serger and my industrial machine. My main machine

That's a problem I have, too. I have an ancient DOS machine that gets
