I have a Viking Lilly 550, a babylock serger and an old Kenmore machine. The old Kenmore was just given to me, so I am not sure how great it works. I use my Viking for everything, and I do sometimes make clothing. I love it. I need to play with the Kenmore and see how great it works. It helps me to have an extra machine for days my daughter comes for sewing days, and then she doesn't have to bring her machine.
