Dawn, I have a Viking Sapphire (875) and love it. It is a wonderful machine and I don't think you will regret buying it. They have a walking foot that comes with 3 snap on attachments, one an open toe , one regular and one a 1/4" which are really great. You can also buy a stitch in the ditch attachment which clips on the walking foot which I love. It is not cheap but very effective. I also have a Janome and like both machines for different reasons. Would be hard to name a favorite
