I have a Viking 6020 that my husband bought for me in 1969 when I was pregnant with my 3rd and was homebound with pneumonia. Still love it and it still does everything I need to do. It sewed everything from underwear to snowmobile suits in the past and now does mostly quilt piecing and a little freemotion. I'm still learning that. I also have two Singers from the early 1950s that my husband bought home from auctions. One is 3/4 sized. They are both in very nice cabinets and the auctioneer could not get a bid on either of them so he gave them to my husband. The both do a very nice straight stitch but I don't really have room to have more than one machine open so they mostly sit in a corner. I bought a Viking Juliet from the family of a cousin who passed away and gave it to my daughter. Don't think she's used it yet but we are traveling to Ohio to visit her next week and she has asked if I'd give sewing lessons to her and a friend. Can't wait!
