Well I hope your daughter has better luck than I. Does hers take bulky seams ( 4/6 layers).....this one will just sit there and make knots or it will jog over, stitching a crooked seam...just what one does not want in a quilt seam! And how does she like that 1/4" foot...does hers catch the fabric on the left side as she sews...I ended up getting the generic plastic little foot from Nancy's notions..true 1/4 and no hang up.
.....and I'm thinking all machines that are made today are basically the same engineering/design and have the same weaknesses.......
sad thing is when I talked to the Viking dealer and told her about how I really now appreciate the old V plus1, she said to just keep up on cleaning out lint, and do whatever one can at home because to take it in for repairs could be a problem...getting parts is almost impossible....so that means another good thing bites the dust......
