I just got a new sewing machine because the foot pedal on my Viking was getting hot and knew the handwriting was on the wall as to how long it would last. A replacement foot pedal if one could be found was in the $100-150 range and I questioned as to whether I wanted to invest that kind of money in a machine that might have other issues along the way. I got a Janome 8900qcp with a large harp area for quilting. Been very happy with my purchase so far but kept my Viking and will use that too as long as I can. My Viking is a great machine and I have a sentimental attachment to it.
