I've had a Viking 6020 since 1969 and I still love it. It is a workhorse and sometimes I wish it would give me a reason to look for a new machine but it never does. When my kids were young I sewed from 8pm until midnight nearly every night when my husband worked nights....everything from sheer undies to snowmobile suits. I can take it apart and clean it so it doesn't even need servicing. I know the new machines do embroidery and probably fix dinner but I just can't give up my old machine. I just love it.
