never spend so much with out test driving the machine you would like to buy!
it should be looked at like buying a car-
you wouldn't buy a car (even a $600 car-without taking it around the block
i wish you luck with your return-
next time you are considering a new machine- go try a few out=then choose the one for you-
that machine may be a dream for someone else and just not (your thing)
i have a viking some people hate- and would rather use the little brother- others fight for the right to use the viking-
different people like different machines- you need to find what works FOR YOU.
