I have one of those sewing and embroidery machines (Viking Rose) but I decided I'm going to sell it. My 1973 Viking 64 30 (finally made it's way back home after being on visitation with one of the daughters) got a thorough cleaning and lubrication and she's purring like a kitten. As soon as I brought her home, I packed up the modern one. I'm just not that happy with the 'modern' machine. My 64 30 sewed everything from baby clothes to evening gowns, from swimsuits to business suits with a bunch of quilt tops thrown into the mix.
I love my vintage machines because if anything goes wrong with them, they can be fixed a whole lot cheaper than the computerized ones. The 'old reliable' goes over any type of seam without blinking an eye or having to think about it.
