I have a Quilt Designer II with an embroidery arm and a Viking 100. I just bought a Huskystar to leave in fla when i spent the winter. I love all of them. My favorite is the designer II because of all of it's special features. My most favorite machine is my 1968 Capital machine that I use to make all my tote bags and purses for my granddaughters. I can sew anything with it and not worry about burning up the motor. I also have an old metal Viking and two old Singers. Old metal machines are great workhorses.
