i bought one in November. I love it. the only problem i have is getting the tension just right for quilting. if i use different colors in top and bobbin, i usually get the little pin-dots on the back. but, since i've always had that problem it may not be the machine. :lol:
i compared models for more than a year before i settled on the MC11000. the newest Viking (Diamond, i think) compares favorably in terms of features and price but the nearest dealer to me is 4 hours away and i was too lazy to drive that far to see it in person. since every other comparison i'd made brought me right back to the MC11000 i don't wonder "what if". i know i made a good choice. :-)
