I bought a Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 875. Since I work for the company, I had to learn to use all the machines that we sold in the store. After learning the machines, I fell in love with the Sapphire series. I'm a quilter and a garment sewist, so all the nice features are wonderful; especially the 10" throat space is great for machine quilting. I don't use
all of the features, but they are nice to have when I want them. It took a while to get used to no presser foot lifter and the auto up/down of the foot. I've had my machine 3 years.
