---and I thought my 5 were more than average!!!
1. The Singer 301A I got when I graduated from high school - 50 years ago - it's still the best for heavy duty and buttonholes
2. The Necchi that was my first with something other than straight stitches
bought my husband in the mid 70's
3. The Pfaff I bought with push buttons when my osteoarthritis in my thumbs began to make turning dials difficult.
4. The Singer Featherweight I talked my Mother out of when I started taking quilting classes
5. The Baby Lock workhorse machine I now use mostly for my "sculpted threads".
I must admit that now I have one more sewing machine than my husband has wood turning lathes!
