I have a Pfaff 2170 embroidery machine and have been sewing on it for 2 1/2 years. I love it. But it is limited without the software for large embroidery fields. I don't see a quality problem here.
I just bought and picked up last week a Viking Designer Diamond Deluxe which was unveiled in Reno about three weeks ago at Viking Convention. I get my first orientation on Tuesday on the basic machine itself, the feet and what all they do. I have not even had time to play with it myself and it is still in the box. I am retiring and today is my last day at work!!! WooooHOooooo!
