Wow Elaine this could have been written by me. I bought the Viking 1+ (at the time) the top-of-the-line machine knowing that retirement was looming I bought 'up' like another poster said. The embroidery part of the machine has only been used a couple of times. I love my Viking 1+ all metal ~ manufactured in Sweden ~ wouldn't part with for any amount of money or for one of the newer machines made in China.
I like another member now being on fixed income worry about the 'mother board' going out of this computerized machine, but replacing the mother board at this time is still far less expensive than what new machines cost.
