Two machines at one isn't unusual. jarkman uses three! (overlocker too)
All worthwhile constructional tasks involve a great deal of swearing.
"Modern white things" are OK, so long as they're just '70s-'80s white things without the later Electronics Of Satan. Best Machine Ever (IMHO) is the Pfaff 1221/1222, a piece of cammy gorgeousness and purely mechanical, except the footpedal. The footpedal is also the only bit that goes wrong!
Mind you, the overlocker scares both of us. Just threading it can take a team of sewing geeks half an hour to get it all sorted.
