I worked for Viking inside a Joanns about 7 years ago. I think back then, the QD2 was no longer being made as we had the new "Designer". We did have a used one on the floor and I really liked it - do not remember what they were new but the used one was well over 2K. When I sewed in the shop I used it often. I was in the market for a new machine and was seriously considering it - but in the end I decided on a used Pfaff 2158 that had the IDT foot. Still - the Viking QD2 was a very nice machine.
