I am very fortunate as I have the Horizon w/the 11" harp (traded my 6500 in on it) and the Viking Designer SE which I use for small quilts and embroidery. It's taken me 4 1/2 years to acquire both, but I wouldn't trade either for ANY OTHER machine, including a longarm. I LOVE BOTH OF THEM. The advice about a separate machine for embroidery is a wonderful suggestion; if I hadn't had the Designer SE before the Horizon, I would have opted for an embroidery only machine. Hope this helps.
