Sewing Machines & a Kitty

 My sewing room is home to several sewing machines, but they all have a special purpose.  My current layout allows me to have 4 of my machines setup and ready to sew.  A couple have covers as I don't use them quite as often, but I would not want to part with any of them.  My kitty Butters can usually be found somewhere close by.  If I go up the stairs she is right behind me.  She wants to be on top of everything I do.  When not in use I have to keep the door closed to my sewing room because somehow she always seems to find another ball of yarn, or a multitude of other treasures she drags down the stairs to show me her new found prize.  Sometimes it is amazing the size of the treasures she can pull down the stairs, you can usually hear that she has something bigger coming down the stairs because she can make lots of noises.

My workhorse is my Juki TL2000.  It only does straight stitches, but it does them beautifully, and very quickly. I can usually find several tasks that I can compete better/faster using my serger, on the left.  In front of the other window, covered, is my Juki DX5 that does fancy stitches.  To the far right is my Juki Coverstitch... I forgot the # on that one.  I am still learning all its capabilities... I haven't had it too long.  It is a really cool machine with lots of possibilities, but sometimes I get too distracted with other things going on to take the time to really find this machine's full potential.

I have a couple antique sewing machines that still work.  Those are not typically setup all the time, but my Singer Featherweight gets pulled into service now and then when I want to use a ruffler because it has a really nice ruffler attachment.  I think that machine is older than I am.

Now I have a few other machines, but these are the ones I utilize most often.
