Three machines is absolutely not excessive. I have my main machine, a Bernina 570QE and my mother‘s old Riccar that I can‘t part with, especially now, that we‘re still grieving for her. And number 3 is a Babylock serger that I‘m still getting to know.

I just found your channel because my 4th machine is a Janome 1000. It's giving me trouble on some super stretchy lightweight knits that I'm hemming. I love your studio, and I'm convinced there's nothing better than totes for storing fabric!

I feel fortunate that I have a large space to sew in (bonus room over garage). I call it my sewing lair. I repurposed unused furniture. I still have my Bernina 910 (whopping 7 stitches) and my Bernette 334DS serger). I no longer use the 910--but I likely will never part with it. It is a solid machine and I have so many feet with it.. I have a Bernina 530 (bought on closeout), Jukie Kirei (bought used but wanted for 12" throat space for quilting), and a Juki coverstitch (bought on closeout). I also have a Kenmore Deluxe Rotary (1946) which sews the most beautiful straight stitches ever and 4 other really vintage machines. And none should own a coverstitch without your excellent book.

So wonderful to see you again. ❤❤❤❤ I have four machines. 😊😊😊😊

I currently own 5 sewing machines. I recently re-homed a serger as I no longer sew clothing. All my machines are 1981 or older. Changes are coming though; I just purchased a Husqvarna ( almost new, a demo model) and I have decided to sell or re-home all of my vintage machines. Time for a change and to simplify a bit.

Vintage for a sewing machine built in the 80s and 90s? lol. Thank you for sharing your sewing studio. You deserve it all. ❤ I am a button juky, too.

I love your utter joy at your new space and the all the organisation shelves and gadgets - I would be exactly the same!I have just retired and I'm about to refit my sewing and knitting space - many notes taken :) 4 sewing machines here - Janome coverpro 300, Janome 6234xl Overlocker, Janome Atelier 9 Sewing machine and a trusty old Brother SuperAce II (25 years old!).

Nice to see you again and I look forward to more content!

I love your studio! I’m very spoiled! We are retired snowbirds. We spend 6 months in Wyoming and 6 months in Southern California. In Wy, I have baby lock celebrity, Janome coverstitch and sewist. Also brother sewing/embroidery. In Ca I have babylock serger and Janome sewing.

Love it! And especially the wheels! I do the same thing. It makes sewing so much easier!

I sure wish you would make another lovely video. I miss seeing you. Hope all is well.

Hello Johanna! Very nice sewing space! I now have 3 sewing machines. - a regular sewing machine, serger, and my NEW coverstitch machine. I bought the brother 2340cv. Really liking it so far!

Nice to catch up with you after my being inactive on KZread for a while. I used to have a sewing studio and now I have a small corner of my bedroom to sew in. So I'm very envious of your space😊. I have a 30 year old White four thread serger. Its a major workhorse and then some. I have a Bernina Bernet that I've had almost 20 years. I plan on buying a sail rite machine to deal with denim and leather. The small portable one.

I’m so glad you are back

Always look forward to your videos. I have 5 sewing machines: 2 are featherweights (gifted), my mom’s old Singer 319W, a New Home machine (bought with babysitting money) and now my babylock Katherine. Also have the Babylock Imagine serger and a Juki cover stitch machine. Love your cutting table and will attempt to build one for myself

I have 5 sewing machines that I use, a Janome 3160 QDC, a Janome MC6700P, a Janome four DLB serger, a Kenmore 234D serger (yes it is nice to have 2 sergers) and a Janome 1000CPX CoverPro. I also have 2 other machines that are only for show. A little Singer Featherweight from the 1950's and a 1913 treadle Singer.

I feel your happiness all the way to Belgium. I have two sewing machines, a janome S7 and a global straight stitch machine. Also a babylock overlock and coverlock.

I use thread wall racks but I cover them with sewing theme fabric covers when I’m not using them. I like to see all the colors at once. Serger and embroidery threads are in plastic boxes in cupboards. I sew the most. I enjoy your videos and books very much!

The Babylock Celebrate is a serger with tension dials. It's a couple hundred dollars less than the Imagine. I personally prefer the Imagine. I gifted it to my niece a couple of years ago when I purchased the Triumph (combo serger/coverstitch), but regretted not having a standby machine when one of them needs to go for its annual service. So I bought a Babylock Victory (updated version of the Imagine). I currently have 4 machines in my home and not enough room to have them all out at once. Your studio is lovely!

Great to see you !!!!

Oh every thing looking very good!!

I have a new cover pro 1000 and your great book about coverstitch and a sewing machine and 2 sergers. I love my coverstitch machine, and I am amazed that I didn't know they existed and neither did my sewing friends. I rehemmed many pairs of pants and long sleeves, and they look professional. Also, I recently got an adjustable height sewing table, and it really helped eliminate pain from hunching over

Awesome cutting furniture 😊

Wow, welcome back. You were missed! Great space; you deserve that beautiful space for all the great work you do.

I love your sewing studio! What a great idea to share a creative space with someone else. Sewing machines… 9. !!! I have 2 listed for sale and considering selling a third- it’s a restored vintage Necchi- so I’m not sure if I want to part with it but I really don’t use it a lot. A 4th machine is ready to donate to a friend who tunes up machines and gives them away. Lol. Give me a month and my answer will be more respectable. :).

Hi magnifying lenses, nice to se you again

Yaaaay, ny bok från dig Fit for knits, så exalterad, lääänge till november! :D

So happy to see you are are doing well. We have missed you! Love your new hairdo! 😀

Hi. Great sewing space. I have three machines, a Serger and an Embroidery machine (All Brothers). I also have a Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen.

Such a perfect space! ❤

What a lovely space, I’m particularly impressed by the sofa and table by window, a great spot to hand sew, plan the next project or just nap. I’ve tried for an armchair in my room but there’s just too much stuff. Sewing machine count? That’s a scary number, at least 12 sewing machines, three sergers, two coverstitches, and an ironing press. I should purge the Janome 900cpx, after getting my juki mcs1500 it got stored.

Glad to find your reviews again!

I have 3 sewing machines: an older (1980's) Pfaff Creative 1469 purchased used, a Pfaff quilt expression 720 and a Janome Cover Pro 1000 COX coverstitch machine. I love your new sewing space! Thank you for the tour and the inspiration!

So nice to see you. Love the sewing space.

So happy for you and happy to see your new space. I always learn so much from your channel. ❤

expect i'll need one of those mag lights lol, for now , there's a tri-burst light in each of the 2 areas i do stitching in

Nice to see you again! Love your new studio, thanks for the tour.

Your space looks amazing. I really love your cutting table with all that beautiful storage!

I have 13 machines. Some vintage all but 2 working.

I love your sewing space. It looks like it will work really well for you! I have five working sewing machines and one that is just for display. The one I use the most is the 1916 Singer hand crank that was made in Scotland and now resides in Canada. I have a 1930s Singer Treadmill that was made in Quebec, Canada, a 1946 Singer in a cabinet, a 1950s teal Woodsonia (Woodwards department store brand), a 1995 Husqvarna embroidery machine, and a 1950s made in England child's sewing machine on display.

It’s so good to see you again! You look good and like you are feeling better. Love your studio!

Beautiful space!! Lots of light, such a creative studio!! 🪡🧵✂️💕

I have 4 (Bernette Serger, straight and embroiders Brother NV960 DL, brother 3550 coverstitch and a Remington tank that doesn heavy fabrics -did my curtains with it) I felt horrible about it, because none of my friends understand... but reading the comments made me aware that Im barely above the medium n° of machines... HAPPY SEWING

This is fantastic! I'm so happy for you! I remember you showing your cutting table years ago in a different sewing space. It's very inspirational. Now I need to do some spring cleaning in my sewing room.

I have a Babylock Imagine - I agree with you on its abilities and I love it! I have a Babylock Coverstitch 2, love it as well. My sewing machines are a Janome Skyline 5 for most all,y sewing, but also a Janome HD9. It’s amazing. I consider myself very fortunate, most of these I have acquired since retiring.

It is great seeing you again. I like your cutting table. I have four sewing machines.

Um, eight machines? I did have nine, but my modern computerized machine went to the dump when it died. I have one mechanical 30 year old serger and a new coverstitch machine. My daily driver is a 1960 Singer 500a. The rest are fully functional antiques and vintage machines from 1902 through the 70s. I'll never spend money on another computerized piece of garbage that might last 10 years, if I'm lucky. I do love your storage systems! I need to work on that.

What a fantastic sewing space, thanks for sharing it with us! thx also for showing us the vintage fashion prints, I'm checking out the NY public library digital site to print off a few for my own sewing space :)

So fun to see that you posted again. Welcome back. I love your new studio. I have only one machine.

Saying, "Hi," as a sewing who needs the magnifier for sewing. Glad you're back! I'm giving FIVE machines a good home!😂 One vintage Singer (6620C) two Juki (DX-4000QVP & TL-2010Q) , one vintage Baby Lock serger (BL-302), and one Singer overlocker/cover stitch combo (Pro 5).

Your new space is wonderful Johanna and the sofa is a special touch. I have a Bernina 535 sewing machine, a 40 year old Husqvarna 6690 I use for free motion embroidery a Babylock Acclaim serger and a Babylock Evolution cover stitch all on active duty. I have a number of vintage inherited Husqvarna’s in storage and a Babylock embellisher which gets occasional use.

I can relate to needing a magnifying lamp 😢

Lovely to see you again. Your new space is very inspiring 😍. I have 1 Janomi Magnolia and 1 Baby Lock Imagine. But i may be gifted another (newer) Janomie. A friend passed away and her daughter offered it to me . I don't know what condition it's in...

I have your serger and my Bernina and your light. I also have an ikea

Hi, Johanna! I feel like it's been a long time since I hung out with you in a video! Your new sewing space is lovely, and you seem very happy about it. The vintage fashion illustrations are gorgeous! RE: sewing machines - I'm at four - my everyday Babylock Elizabeth, Babylock Imagine serger (like yours - love her), a Pfaff coverstitch/serger combo (used only for coverstitching), and a vintage Singer FashionMate (all mechanical, heavy at heck, great backup machine).

Nice to see you back . Love your sewing space. I have 4 macines. Bernina for most of my sewing, a Janome which was myvery first machine, a bernina overlocker a d recently purchased a vintage Ward treddle machine. Love and use them all.

What a great space! I have 3 machines that I use. An Elna Carina, a White serger - both older and workhorses for sure. I recently bough the Janome 3000 coverstitch - game changer. I also have 2 vintage (1950's) Singers. One is my grandmother's and it has an awesome buttonhole attachment that I will use when making keyhole buttonholes on jackets or coats. Love your videos and books! Looking forward to the next one :)

Hi Johanna, what a fantastic new workspace for sewing. I own 3 machines, a Bernina, a Singer heavy duty, and a Bernette baby lock 😁

What a beautiful and functional space. One can be so much more productive when things are neat and organized. I have one old sewing machine (White brand) which I bought new in roughly 1984. It is heavy compared to today's lighter-weight plastic type machines, but has served me well. I would love to have a serger at some point but I'm not a spring chicken any more so am having trouble justifying the purchase. My sewing/hobby room has a closet (without doors) so I can store a lot of things in it. Most tubs/boxes etc. are labelled or I couldn't find things quickly. It doesn't look as lovely as yours and my "cutting table" is an island in my kitchen area, so I'm running up and down stairs from time to time (good exercise).

Love your new sewing space! I am inspired to keep decluttering mine and possibly invest in some ikea. I have 5 no 6! machines: janome 2000cpx, S7, and serger; a 2nd hand HD3000 Janome and an old White serger; also a Janome 3160D that I generally don’t use anymore.

I have the Janome 3000 which i’m still struggling with, but your book is really helping. Edit. A Singer Featherweight. A Brother Innovas 150. A Janome MC8900. Another Brother on semi permanent loan to my daughter. Another Janome on semi permanent loan to my son. 2 overlockers, one of which is currently in disgrace. And my new coverstitch. I need an intervention 😂

Your sewing space is lovely. I really like the cutting table! And really, can one have too many sewing machines?🤣 I've got three sewing machines, one serger and one cover stitch. 😁

What a super organised sewing space, Johanna. I love your sofa! I have four sewing machines but one is pretty old and has a limp! It's a Riccar and was great in its day. I keep it because it has some really nice decorative stitches. The others are a basic Janome machine that does automatic buttonholes, a Singer heavy duty and a Janome overlocker. I don't think I could justify the expense of a cover stitch machine. I muddle along with a twin needle for knit hemming.

Great video and your space is very well-organised! Have you thought of making a cover for your open wall hanging threads? It could be a fabric cover which would be quick and easy to sew up using curtain fabric for durability, but also sunlight and dust protection. You can remove it whenever you are working in your sewing space and recover it when closing up for the day. Anne 🦘

Yes, those who don't sew, don't understand the need for more than 1 machine! I now actually have 1 vintage Singer, 1 old Baby lock embroidery machine, 1 older Brother & a Project Runway Brother & a brother Quattro 2 embroidery machine. Then I have a old Singer serger & 2 Baby lock combo sergers! I think I have enough...lol Also I have a lot of buttons & tons of trims. A lot of these I've inherited.....

I mostly use my Janome 6700P, my Janome 550E embroidery machine, my Janome Air Thread 2000, and my Janome coverstitch CoverPro 1000. I have a second Husqvarna Jade 35 embroidery machine, a Pfaff 720, a Pfaff Passport 2.0 and a Pfaff Select manual, all nice machines I use sometimes or take with me for travel.
