Yup...ain't broke...and now I'm paying..Had my Viking for 5 yrs...never serviced. Then it started sewing bkwards. Long story short Husq repair person couldn't fix had to be sent to Viking for repair and it's going to cost somewhere around 600.00. It's been away for 6 wks now and still waiting. But I look at it this way it would have cost abt 105+ per yr for maintainance and misc...so it averages out.
