Thank you!
I agree Connie. It really helps to get opinions from the experts. I think you need to have the extension table with the Viking. I'm going to first try the machine without the table and if I need it, I will purchase one. There is a place in Oregon that sells them on line for a lot less than you can get them at other stores. This same Oregon company also sells the Viking even feed foot for half the normal price. But I am going to hold off before I buy the foot. The Viking's sensor control feature may be enough to keep the fabrics perfectly together. I'm used to the Pfaff IDT and am not sure I can live without that even feeding :)
Good luck in your search and do tell us what you decide on and why.
Thanks, Mary
