I have a Viking Diamond, love it, have had it for 4 years. They have a great sale going on right now, interest free for 4 years. Janome is also a great machine, ny friends just purchased a new 15000 and she loves it, it was interest free for 4 years. Both of these machines are expensive and you can buy cheaper ones but this is the ones I love. Hope you find what you are looking for. Just keep in mind how big you think you might want to do embroidery, make sure you get one that will do the largest design you think you might want to do, the first time I didn't keep this in mind and ended up trading up ans costing me more. Just a thought. I also love machine embroidery, no limits to what you can create.
