Sorry I was unclear...this is the decorative stitching, not embroidery. The woman who demonstrated for me set some of the decorative stitches VEERY wide, just over an inch and a half.
My Viking Rose does embroidery, but I've hardly used it in years since its such a hassle. Thus I was looking for the sewing machines rather than the combo.
Thanks for your input! I wondered whether having the "latest and greatest" might be asking for trouble because it was so new. I'm glad to hear you like yours.
Best wishes,
