I have the Viking 6020 that my husband bought for me in 1969 when I was pregnant with my son, had pneumonia and had to stay in the house for a couple weeks. It is still the machine I use for everything. When the kids were small I made everything from underwear to snowmobile suits on it including jeans and jean jackets. Now it is used for quilting, freemotion quilting and shortening pants plus any quick fixes or button replacing. It is a great machine and I can take it apart to clean it and oil it myself. I love it and haven't been able to come up with a reason to buy one of the new do-everything machines no matter how hard I try!
