I have a Viking. It is 10 years old I got it when I did garment sewing so it doesn't have some of the quilting features on it. I have been trying to save up for a viking Designer 11 but it costs alot, so maybe I might think about a Bernina I belong to a small guild and over half own a bernina.Goog luck it is a hard decision to make, so take your time and go test drive.
