I have had a Husqvarna Viking Scandinavia 300 for more than five years. I, too, only wanted to make labels and monograms, but once you get going....that isn't enough. Mine only does 100mmx100mm (4x4) or 100x170 (Plus Hoop) and machine does a great job. If I could afford it, I would like to trade for one with larger hoops. In the meantime, I'll be satisfied and work the machine to death. Have fun deciding.
