my 2 cents! i loved my viking work horse-[i have 3], the company's mang. plant burnt down and they will not remake their molds for the plastic cams that break. the machines are useless. will never buy from them again.
my new home was a work horse- the computer board went out- not cost effective to replace. never again also.
i now own a brother quilter so far so good. the draw back for me it is computerarize---and sews to slow for my taste but has features i really like. i just bought a singer 221 and a [222 unseen as of now] for pieceing [i hate piecing] a innova for quilting- love it. just my 2 cents from years of sewing.
