Treasureit,
If you like the Viking then you might consider trading it for the new Viking Quilter's machine. I am not certain of the exact design name for it but one of the instructors at LQS has one and loves it.
I bought the Viking Diamond Deluxe last summer when it came out, and I was retiring from work. Was already into embroidery on a Pfaff 2170 but wanted a bigger machine with a bigger opening for quilts than the Pfaff. The Diamond Deluxe fit the bill and I have not regretted it one bit, and I am still "growing" into it.
