Good Luck !!
I had a very similar experience and would love to get a juki but am stuck with the Viking for a while longer.
Same thing here with the Viking. I had originally bought a Viking Emerald when I started back quilting and sewing after a long hiatus. I had to roll over the big seams by hand and had a hard time sewing a straight line with it. My friend thought she wanted one, so we went and looked at the Sapphires and neither one of us could sew a straight line. I traded in the Emerald.
