Haven't had a head count lately @Gernella , but it's a fair few!

Favourites are, my lovely Pfaff 1475 cd, Singer 611g, Singer 185, and my relatively new (to me) Featherweight.

Note to self: must get an up to date list done...

Thinking of giving the Singer 99k an airing later.

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!  :),  but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.

Before: 1
Now:4
Before I joined of never heard of an overlocker, let alone a coverstitch and had no idea domestic embroidery machines existed.

When I joined - two.  My Pfaff and my miniature 1940's chainstitcher.

Now - six.  As above, plus an embroidery/sewing machine, a Featherweight, an overlocker and a coverstitcher.

There was the saga of the Oekaki, but as I did eventually get a refund and return it, it doesn't count towards the total.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Before 2 - a Husqvarna and an old 3 stitch overlock

Now 6 - the same Husqvarna, a decent overlocker, a coverstitcher, two :vintage: 201s and a  :vintage: featherweight.  I use them all.

Still the same 4 machines - a Singer treadle (which is decorative), a Janome Horizon 7700, a White serger, and a Janome sewing machine (for taking places).
