CA I believe, had their Viking and Pfaffs yanked because they also sell Babylock, Bernina, Janome and others. And yes, the decline in quality of both Viking and Pfaff since the buy out has been discussed at length here (again you can do a search).
We have a dealer here in So. CA that sells all of the different brands :?: :?: :?:
I just found out last week from a former Bernina sales person that Berninas have been made in China long before the Pfaffs. Major components in Vikings and Pfaffs are still made in Sweden.
Sounds like this sales rep. is disgruntled and wanting to start garbage.
