I had no problem with FMQ, until I bought a Viking Sapphire. Wow What a learning curve! I bought the Sapphire in 2009 and prior to that I was using a Bernina 1031(1992) and 930(1986) they both have the vertical bobbin system. The Sapphire has a drop in bobbin system. I find it much easier to use the Berninas, I just wish they had the huge throat space that the Sapphire has; it would be the best of both worlds.
