    Yes you should get the machine!!!! You can't have too many. Plus you can move around from one machine to the other :)

    We quilters collect machines, just like we collect fabric!! I have 4 sewing machines, treadle machine, embroidery machine and a serger. Would'nt part with any of them. They are set up assembly line style on a work table, I just give my office chair a little push and ride on over to the machine I want to use.LOL What could be easier or nicer?

    I plan to have several machines. Each with a different color thread so I don't have to stop to change thread in my machine. I just move to another machine. This way all my machines will get used on a regular basis and I always have a machine ready with the color of thread I need. Call me crazy, but I just love collecting machines, they go well with my fabric stash.

Sewing machines have always facinated me they have changed so in the last few years my grandmother who taught me to sew would be amazed

    I have 3 machines that I use on a regular basis, a Pfaff, Bernina and Babylock. Also have an older Singer - and a treadle machine. So........that being said - I use them all but love my Pfaff.

    I've only got one sewing machine and one serger. Boy, I guess I need to keep up with you all! Honestly, if my sewing room wasn't a guest room too. I think I'd keep several set up too.

I THOUGHT I had 14, but now I count mine and I stop at 8!!I have an old Wards, Golden Touch n Sew, regular Touch and Sew, Janome 5000, Designer 1, an old treadle Singer in cabinet - it is beautiful, a few more Singers - black with scrolls that are packed away. I am addicted too!

    I certainly can't argue with you. I have been looking at a Pfaff Creative 4.0 because as well as quilt I want to be able to do embroiderying with more ease than my Pfaff 7570. I am taking a few weeks to try to talk myself out of wanting the new one as I obviously can't say I NEED it. I can see this group won't do much to talk me out of it. :lol: My real dilemma is, will I purchase it and then find that it wasn't as big a joyful purchase as I thought it would be. I really love my 7570, but would love the easier embroidery and the wider bed. Decisions, decisions.

    I love the idea of having each machine threaded with a different color. I have 3 FWs -- a 1964 white/green (my class machine), a 1936 black and a Centennial model. I have my original Singer 237 FashionMate, a 1939 Singer treadle and a 1929 Singer in a beautiful wooden domed case (this is the only one that doesn't work). And I have an offbrand my MIL gave me. I have a Bernina 440 QE, a 240 and a 165 sewing/embroidery machine. Then there are the White and Janome sergers. That totals 10 sewing machines and 2 sergers. And I still want a hand crank model, just because. It's an addiction, but you can't OD and it won't kill you!
