And I should be partial, as it was originally a Swedish brand.
thank you, the thing is if you try them out and also have a shop in your area to help if needed, you will know if you are doing something wrong or if its the machine. My Huskylock has made me think I had a problem several times because I'm spoiled. My Viking emb machine automatically puts the pressure foot down and starts when I push start or the peddle. There has been many times when I thought my serger was messing up, just to find out I'd forgotten to put the pressure foot down because its not automatic on my serger. Thank goodness I have a great teacher and as soon as she sees my sewing she knows the problem. Having a dealer (rather you buy from them or not) that will help you is a big help. I have my Viking dealer and our Sew n Vac store handles Brother so I'm covered.
