I have so many backup machines. 3 Vikings and an old Singer that was my mothers. I will also get her Kenmore soon so with my newest Viking 960Q that makes 6. I hope to never need all of them and want to see one of my granddaughters learn to sew. Gave my first all metal Royal to my daughter and she managed to totally kill it. I'm very careful who I let sew on any of them now.
