I'm with you, Annie! I had one of those fancy Viking H. computerized machines for a few years and it was so fragile! It ended up with problems that no one would attempt to fix. All the repair guys said that it wasn't worth fixing. I bought a $99 Singer Heavy Duty from Walmart that works like a charm! No problems at all! Just keeps chugging along and does everything it is asked to do.
