My apologies to all who were offended by this. It certainly wasn't meant to be that way.

I feel the same way Larisa...

I have: 1 Bernina 1030 and a Globelock M34. I am trying to sell my DDs' machine at present to be replaced by another Bernina... Can I count that machine?

I also have an angle on my mums old Singer.. Not sure what model it is..

Naaaa... Never enough. Let's see if I can remember all of mine...

1. White treadle, works very well
2. Singer - don't remember just what it is, aquired from a friend
3. Singer, bought a couple of years ago new
4. Kenmore, about 20 years old, aquired from a friend (this and the above 2 I take to the schools when I teach)
5. Kenmore sew 100, still sews great, but could use a new motor (LOTS of heavy use)
6. Kenmore sew 150, my *utility* machine
7. New Home 9000
8. Singer 20u industrial
9. W&G 5 thread serger industrial (how did I ever get along without this one?)
10. Pfaff 4852 5 thread serger
11. Pfaff 786 3/4 thread serger in need of serious overhaul
12. And, just aquired, a 40's era Singer in a beautiful wood case

We won't talk about the gismos, gadgets, accessories, and the like!

I only have three, though I'd love a cute little featherweight.

I don't really want to list all 50+ machines I own. I'll just list some of my favorites.

1. White Family Rotary, in Arts&Crafts style treadle cabinet. This was my first treadle. White FR's were great machines in their day--and still are, of course.
2. Necchi Supernova in blond 1950s cabinet. An excellent vintage sewing machine that, with its cams, can do practically anything.
3. National Eldredge Two Spool sewing machine in treadle cabinet. The Two Spool uses a small spool of thread as bobbin. This machine dates from the 1920s.
4. Davis New Vertical Feed, in treadle cabinet. The Davis Company speciallized in vertical feed sewing machines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. No feed dogs, ma, just a walking foot! Great for quilting. This one's also from the 1920s.
5. Singer 201K handcrank. Weighs a ton--but nothing beats that straight stitch. If I don't feel like lugging it around I can always drop it into an old Singer treadle base.
6. Singer 201-2 electric machine, in Singer cabinet model 42. Same as above, only electrified, and set into a beautiful piece of furniture.
7. Singer 301, also in Singer No. 42 cabinet.
8. Willcox & Gibbs hand crank chain stitch machine. Portable, cute, and I love how quietly it sews.
