Unfortunately, having an old reliable machine of a brand doesn't mean that buying a new one will be satisfactory. I had a Husqvarna/Viking Rose that I really liked. When I shopped for a new machine 12 years later, I discovered that the H/V machines were no longer made in the same country, or with the same quality, as previously. I ended up with a Brother VQ3000 instead and have been very pleased with it.
