Let me start off by saying that I have a great sewing machine - I got it about 10 years ago, maybe longer, it's a Viking Lily and I absolutely love it. I quilt with it, make bags and purses, I still make clothes and stuffed animals for the grandchildren and even though it's not my favorite thing I do some mending and repairs. Now I'm thinking about looking into something a little more elaborate, an embroidery machine. I looked online and came across the Viking Designer Diamond, it looks wonderful. It is a sewing and embroidery machine. I've seen how everybody helps out by giving advise and opinions so I guess that's what I'm asking for. Thanks........Katie

I have had my Viking Lily for about 8 years now and recently inherited my late MIL's Viking Rose. I dream about the day when I can upgrade the Rose to the Diamond....I know serveral ladies who have Diamonds and they really like them alot. I will tell you that my LQS owner personally prefers the Designer SE to the Diamond, however, as a dealer she cannot promote the SE since it is no longer made. I am hopeful that I can upgrade in another year. We have 2 in college right now and one of them will graduate in Dec. Of course, we will have a wedding to pay for right away, I am sure, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Were I you, I would not hesitate a moment! Will you keep your Lily? I like having 2 machines and will keep my Lily when I can upgrade. It is just a very nice machine!
