I have sewed on nothing but Vikings for the last 11 years. I think they are the best on the market. I have 2 viking roses, a huskystar and I had a mega quilter( sold it only to upgrade to Gammill)( and miss it). My mom has the rose also. I have a Janome that my brother found someone was selling cheap so I bought it. It is a nice machine but doesn't compare to the vikings. You won't be sorry to buy a Husqvarna! Good luck.
