If I understood the topic correctly, I get to extoll the virtues of my favorite sewing event. That would be the Sew Expo at Puyallup, WA, in November. This is a show where the newest gadget and widget makers show off their wares. We make kites and we have gotten an amazing number of tools, techniques, and ideas for this show.

Our second choice is the Sew Expo that occurs in late February, also at Puyallup. This show is typically larger than the November show and I think it is listed as the largest of its kind in the U. S. There are certainly enough booths and displays to keep us going for all three days. (Hmmm. Maybe it's a four-day event. I forget.)

Seven total, but two of them are non-functioning Singer 99s without cases of cabinets.
Three are not used, the Kenmore, the industrial Elna, and a Singer portable.
I make kites with the other two, a Pfaff 2030 and a Featherweight. We make the kites out of rip-stop nylon and it is so slick that the Pfaff's "walking foot" (IDT) comes in very handy. I take both machines to kite workshops but usually use the Featherweight because it works well and annoys some of the "My machine is better than your machine" crowd.
