This week's theme for Friday Five is Sewing Machines:
1. How many sewing machines do you have?
2. Which machine is your "regular-go to" machine?
3. Do you own a specialty machine (serger, embroidery, longarm)?
4. Have you inherited a sewing machine?
5. If you could upgrade your "go-to" machine, no price limit, what would you upgrade to?
My Answers:
1. Currently, 4.
2. My Husqvarna 870 Quilt.
3. Yes,serger and embroidery machine.
4. Yes, my grandmothers Bernina, that my great aunt purchase 1 year before I was born.

1. I own 2 sewing machines
ReplyDelete2. My go-to is my Janome "The Heart Truth" machine. (I don't know what model # it is)
3. No specialty machines
4. Well, my first machine was a hand-me-down from my Mom, when she bought herself a new machine. It's a Singer from the early 1950s. I have the hard carrying case, attachments, original book & the wooden 'card table' size sewing table that came with it too!
5. Cost no object? Hmmmm....can I get two? One of the 'fancy' Berninas AND a long-arm!
OK - I can give you some more short answers - so I'll play.
ReplyDelete1. I have three sewing machines - my "Pinto" - "Toyota" - and "Lexus". Each one is a step up from the other.
2. My "go-to" machine is my Lexus - a Husqvarna Lily 555 - she's about ten years old - she's my favorite.
3. I own a serger (Sergio) - no embroidery machine (not into embroidery AT ALL) - and no longarm (no room).
4. Never inherited a sewing machine. No one else in my family sews - except my daughter - never inherited anything from her.;)
5. Upgrade - no price limit? I have no idea - but probably another Husqvarna - love those machines!!
Oooo... a longarm? How cool! Here's mine:
ReplyDelete1. 2
2. Bernina Aurora 440QE
3. I have a Babylock serger (jet air threading FTW!) and a Babylock coverstitch machine.
4. Kind of... my mom bought her best friend's Pfaff and then gave it to me. So I sort of inherited it from my mom's friend?
5. Bernina 830. Oh, yeah. I wish I had space for a longarm though-- that would be cool!
