We get very many new members asking for sewing machine recommendations.
Everybody has their favourite brands and models and I was thinking if we all clicked on the brand we had it would form a quick and instant poll of the most popular brands amongst TSP members.
SO click on the brand of your machines in the poll above ...... maybe I can fashion another poll for individual models but there are so many of them it would be a very long list
If your machines brand is not showing, let me know and Ill add it to the list.
Please note this is for Domestic SEWING machines only .... Not embroidery or dedicated overlockers Although I could look into a poll for that :thinking:
-
??? No poll showing. :facepalm:
-
Hold on to your knickers Kenora ....
-
@Iminei Can't do that because there's no poll there!
-
It won't let me click "thrice" or even "twice"! I clicked once but now I can only see the results. :S :o
-
Sorry @Iminei I didn't read properly first and clicked, I've got two Pfaffs (only one down), and I forgot my Husvarna.
Nothing working on a Sunday (brain) it shuts down and rests. :S
-
I have an old Singer and an ancient one so I've voted for old. If I could unvote my current model I would. I'll put up with it but given the choice, and hanging around with you peeps, I wouldn't buy it again. (don't tell it. I feel treacherous :(
-
I could only vote once as well, I have six machines, all domestic, four of which are my favourite brand which I would recommend every time.
-
Oh dear shall I start again??? You have up to 10 votes but when you hit submit ... youre done!
Im going to remove the poll and start again ... PLEASE read the blurb in the first post before clicking anything ...
@Kenora @BrendaP @wrenkins @Gernella @justpottering
I think you may be able to change your votes ... but dont hold me to this ... do it right first time ok?
-
@Iminei Are you able to add an option for Bernina (old) without it affecting any votes already made? The mechanical vintage Berninas are popular but quite different to today’s modern computerised models.
-
I was thinking the same thing. I have an older mechanical Bernina rather than th brandy new all bells and whistles variety.
-
Done mine but it only lets you click once on any model. I have three old singers + an elna and a frister+rossmann :)
-
I've got a Riccar
-
I have four old Singers and one oldish Husqvarna, but I think I was only able to vote old Singer once.
-
No, clicked more than once and it disappears. Not posted this time.
-
Okay one vote per brand ... my bad girls ... Sorry!
@sewingj Riccar added
@Puzzler Bernina (Old) added
-
No probs........
-
I didn't read the thread so included my Janome Coverstitch but I have Berninas for general sewing.
-
I have 3 machines, all by Brother.
-
Oh dear, another frantic box ticker here who didn't read the overlocker & coverstitch exclusions. :|
Can you remove 1 Juki, Brother & new Bernina please?
Lovely to see the vintage Singers outnumber the all-conquering Janomes.
-
If you click on the green plus sign underneath the poll you might get the option to remove your vote. If not I'm afraid it will have to stay as I can't see a way for an admin to remove individual votes. I could set them all back to zero, but Iminei would kill me...
-
That worked for me @wrenkins.
-
I forgot to add my old singer handcrank so that makes 61!
-
So does this mean @annieeg doesn't have a billiard room, she has a sewing machine room - 61 :faints:

@Gernella :laughing: :laughing:
No - the 61 refers to vintage singer total of the TSP members ... Not the amount of machines I have..

Thank goodness @annieeg , I was beginning to think you were a big pantaloons woman with all those machines under your skirt.
-
Erm, I clicked Old Singer because you don’t have an option for old Japanese HA1 machines, (that look like a Singer Class 15). :S
-
Niche! Iminei did say she'd add brands if people owned machines that aren't listed.
-
Only 73 voted, come on ladies show your wares.
-
Unfortunately I have had to add to the Pfaff section as my others are combined sewing/embroidery machines. But it is one of these Husqvarna machines I generally use for sewing.
-
The green plus sign allows you to remove any votes, and start again. I voted first then read the instructions, so deleted my first attempt and di it again, correctly... :|
