I got my first machine in 1979, then updated it in 1980 with the first electronic version (was Viking's top of the line machine at the time). then I did not upgrade my machine for over 30 years.
just bought a Babylock Destiny, and hope I'll not feel the urge to upgrade for another 30 years.
When I bought the Viking in 1980, I paid $1,000 at a time I was making $1.90 an hour. based on where minimum wage is now, I think I've paid relatively less for the Babylock.
