I got a Viking Rose about 5 yrs ago at an auction. Paid $800 for it and all the extras with 2 hoops. I larger and one smaller. It is a great machine but wouldn't do large enough embroidery for me. I gave it to one of my daughters for her birthday this year and bought a Janome 300E from Tomilu from the board here and she is going strong. Both great machines. Good luck with her.
