OK girls, hope I made the right decision. I purchased the Viking 875. Monetarily it was the right decision. The floor model was going as they are coming out with a new machine in the Fall. They dropped the price from $2500 to $1900 and it had only been on the floor 2 months. No one really uses it. She threw in the walking foot, which is over $100, and Joann's is in my town. The Bernina dealer wanted $2300 for their floor model, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the Viking and the dealer is 30 minutes away. They are sending it out to have it cleaned and tuned up so I will get it next week. Once I get the hang of the presser foot, I think I will really like it. Scary committing to so much money with other good choices. Oh, I also have a points card and have enough points to get another foot. Wow!!
