I use three Bernina machines, including my new B880+. It joins my Virtuosa 155 and my Bernina serger. I have been using Berninas for about 15 years and what I enjoy most about them is that they are quality machines that provide reliable, consistently beautiful results year after year. They have been totally worth the investment.

I have several machines but my favorite is my “vintage” Kenmore sewing machine. It is just a sturdy workhorse and although it does not have any fancy stitches whatsoever, it sews like a champ.

Sharon M

I have several machines that I sew with plus a serger. I do have a fancy machine that does embroidery but find I sew the most on a mid range machine. I use my serger for finishing any seams that are not hidden.

Colleen

December 29, 2017

I use several sewing machines. My favorite is the 1980ish Singer that my mom bought me when I was 14. It sews through tough fabrics and I rarely have tension problems. For decorative stuff, I sew with a newer machine, a brother NQ 700. I am still getting used to it. For serging, I love my 1987 White serger. I bought a newer Singer serger when I gave my old one to my daughter and have regretted it ever since. The newer one is not the quality of my White (my daughter is in heaven now and felt so bad, she found a duplicate White on Ebay for me and gave it to me for Christmas last year!!!)

December 29, 2017

I use a Singer sewing machine. The thing I like most about it is that it is similar to the one that I learned how to sew on. It is heavy. It can take a beating and keep on going. I know that someday I should replace it with something new, but it still works well. Maybe I will buy new, and keep it anyway.

Kathy

December 29, 2017

I use an Alco Necchi sewing machne circa 1970. The thing I like most about it is that it is like an old friend and very familiar. When I first bought it, I sewed ALL the time, for both of my nieces and myself. I had to put it on lay away in order to afford it. Then I started working in earnest, and raising a family; now that I am retired (45 years later) I am making doll clothes for my granddaughters, great granddaughters and great nieces. Although it doesn’t do a lot of fancy stitches, or seam finishes, like I said it is an old friend. I can’t see giving it up.

Donna Jones

December 29, 2017

I use a White sewing machine. The thing I like most about it is [tell us is its durability. I bought it with my first money from my first job. I had to have to motor replaced this year, but the mechanic said it was well worth doing because of the quality of the machine. It is 46 years old!

Lori

December 29, 2017

I use an old Singer that used to be my grandmother’s. I like best that it has strong metal parts, and that I can do different stitches with it. I also like the way it winds the bobbin.

Huong

December 29, 2017

I use Brother se400. I like most of it is the combination of sewing and embroidery in 1 combo machine.

AnneC-E

December 29, 2017

I have several sewing machines and a serger that I use for different purposes. This question is like which of your children do you love the most. That said I think my Pfaff 7570 is the work horse because it embroiders and sews. Its sibling the 6122 “jeans and satin” is a good utility tool. My White, solid metal parts and all, is over 50 and still works like a charm. My singer featherweight and serger are commonly used in clothing production and repairs. All of them have their uses in making doll clothes, sometimes I use more than one .

Peggy

December 29, 2017

“I use a pfaff 1027, The thing I like most about it is it can do almost anything for its age this machine still can do anything I need it too ( I bought this machine in 1976 ) I have thought about getting a new machine once, than I laughed and went and bought more fabric

December 29, 2017

I use a Pfaff sewing machine because I was working as a professional seamstress and it did anything I needed. I really liked my New Home and used it daily for 25 years, until I ran it into the ground.

Teresa

December 29, 2017

I use a Pfaff Ambition 2.0 and I love it because it’s a strong workhorse that does anything I ask of it and in such a pretty way! Motorbike seat covers, wedding dresses, baby clothes, jean zips, motorbike jackets, formal outfits, and Pixie Faire doll clothes – my Pfaff will sew everything!

December 29, 2017

A Viking Machine that my sweet neighbor sold to me when she moved. It is amazing!

Marcia Coleman

December 29, 2017

I use a Brother sewing machine. The thing I like most about it is all the new features it has that my 45 year old Singer didn’t. Also, that I have learned to use some of them as I’ve made clothes for the twins Wellie Wishers and 18" American Girls. They love that Grandma practices so they have lots of new doll clothes. I have even made a few of the ideas they have suggested. Imagination runs wild around here!

Rebecca

December 29, 2017

I use an older Viking Quilter’s machine with the wacky slide-in cards for decorative stitches. I love several things about it—-I KNOW it so can make quick changes in stitches & accessories, self adjusting tension and, now that I’m 60, self-threading needle!

Donna B

December 29, 2017

I have several machines I have 3 Vikings Diamond Deluxe mostly for embroidering and a platuimn and tribute plus a Babylock Ovatation. My platumn is my workhorse along with the serger I like the platuimn because I can lift the pressure foot to readjust fabric easiet than on the DDD

Glenda

December 29, 2017

I use a Singer 9960. The thing I like the best about it is it has the slowmo for precision sewing. This mode also works really well to teach my granddaughter to sew. Also it is self threading.

Diana

December 29, 2017

I use a Brother Sewing and embroidery machine. I love having the ability to go back and forth between options without having to drag out multiple machines.

Jason

December 29, 2017

I suppose I hand sew but am not very good at it. The thing I like best about it is giving up and letting my very talented MIL do it instead.

Terry

December 29, 2017

I use a Janome (Horizon) Memory Craft 7700 QDF. The thing I like most are the quick keys like the self-threader, the drop/raise needle, lock stitches, and built-in thread cutter being very visible on the front of the machine.

I use a Janome that I got as a gift and I love it’s buttonholer! I never had one before.

Joanne Grenell

December 29, 2017

I use a Bernina Activa 145. I like the way I can just push the buttons to make the needle stay up or go down and use the hands free lever. My mother taught me to sew when I was young and began sewing Barbie doll clothes, which my sister and I sold to our friends.

December 29, 2017

I use an older Pfaff machine 1222E that I’ve had forever! The best feature for me is the built in walking foot. There are other features I love and that machine is a work horse!

Brenda

December 29, 2017

I use any machines but love to embroider. I use a Viking Designer SE to Embroider and sew. I like the automatic cutter and the fact that I can make things for my Grandchildren on it.

Nina

December 29, 2017

I use a Brother sewing machine. It was recommended as a great basic machine for someone just starting out. The thing I like most about it is how easy it is to operate.

Kathleen Stull

December 29, 2017

Donna Lanreth

December 29, 2017

I use a Brother Project Runaway Limited Edition sewing machine. The thing I like the most about it is that it has a lot of decorative stitches, which allows me to decorate any outfit I want. To me that I what makes the outfit.

Jaclyn C.

December 29, 2017

“I use a Singer sewing machine. The thing I like most about it is….1. It’s just overall a great machine! 2. It’s the brand my grandmother used. We have 4 machines. My aunt took my grandmother’s antique machine in the treadle cabinet, I have her newer one from the late 90’s, my mother has hers and I bought mine about 7-8 years ago. All have been working great and I even repaired horse blankets with them. Love that they are low to no maintenance and very easy to use!!!

Barb

December 29, 2017

I use a Kenmore sewing machine that I purchased nearly 40 years ago right after I graduated from high school. When applying for my first car loan, the bank manager was so impressed by my wise investment that I was granted the car loan! The thing I like most about it is that it is an invincible machine. My mum fell in love with my machine too and my dad bought the same one too. She quilted on it for 30 years before her passing and each grandchild has a quilt made by her. My daughter now has her machine.

TerriSue

December 29, 2017

I use a Bernina 310. I like it because it is a workhorse. I got it for my high school graduation from my parents in 1976. It is wonderful. Back then machines were made from metal not plastic so they lasted as attested by my machine. I have used it being a seamstress, then making clothes for my two children including matching outfits for for my son’s stuffed animals and my daughter’s Kirsten doll. Now I make clothes and toys for my four grandchildren.

Ginny Bilz

December 29, 2017

I use a brother quilting machine and a Janome server. Just purchased a Janome cover stitch machine. I’ve only used it once and it was great.
