Yeah....I used to borrow my friend's Viking to sew and do embroidery. I learned that it is usually the top thread that needs to be restrung and restrung and restrung and restrung. That machine thread continually jumped out of place. After a while I was accustomed to re-threading the machine, but let a newbie come sit down at her Viking and they go completely bananas because they didn't think a sewing machine should have problems like that!!! Not all do, but this one did. Finally got my own machine and I'm very happy to use it. Doesn't mess up too much. :roll: ;) ;-) :? :lol:
