I have Husqvarna Viking combo...just remember when your using the embroidery part you don't have a sewing machine and your just sitting around waiting to change thread or waiting for it to finish...If you have another sewing machine at least you can do something else...I have the combo and an extra sewing machine.
The reason I buy Viking is because they are the only machine that has an automatic privot lefting foot. Can't live without it when you do applique
