I have a Kenmore that was given to me as a graduation gift in 1981. I love it still!and use it 99% of the time. I have also been given a Viking that is probably 5 years old. I have used it but I always go back to my Kenmore. My Kenmore basically has 6 stitches but for quilting it has been great and have free motioned all my quilts up until this last February when purchased my dream APQS long arm. I still quilt small quilts on her(kenmore).
