I too, love to EM, I have the older Viking Rose I have used it alot. Just talked to my dealer recently and he told me I could get software for it to do my hearts desire with, just one problem it costs 500.00. I am undecided if I should go that route or just update to another machine, What do you ladies suggest? Of course I would have to have it connected to my computer to use it, I don't know much about doing that. Thanks for this thread.
