This is funny. I have 3 Vikings and they aren't tempermental at all. I can use any kind of thread; I Never have to set the tension, it adjust itself. I started out with a Ruby and the went up to a Diamond Deluxe, I also have a #1 emb machine and a mega quilter. No problems, what ever anyone gets they should try them out at the dealers first so that you can see if the dealer and the machine are a good fit. You can't beat good customer service.
