thank you everyone for your kind words. You all are very encouraging to me.

That' great! I have a Viking 1100 and I love it! I'm so happy for you. I know you are excited! When you get time post a pic of Ruby for us! After tax season please be sure to post the quilt your working on ok?

That is great!!!! Congrats!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

enjoy sewing

I want that machine, I drool over it everytime I go to Joanne's enjoy a well deserved new machine :-D

I have a 35-year-old Viking that has paid for itself about 20 times over. It has done just about anything you can think of. It is still going strong and I would not trade it for the world! Am watching for another Viking, either older or newer, whichever presents itself first. I am hooked on Vikings!!

I'm thinking you are hooked :-)& will be making a whole lot of quilts.We're all enablers & you'll find going to Joanns or LQS will become a part of your days. Enjoy!!

I'm a Viking person, too. I bought the top of the line machine 40 years ago and it's still going strong. I had an opportunity on a 1+ about 12 years ago and bought it as well. I agree with the person that said to take all the free lessons that come with the machine. You'll be surprized at all the things you'll learn..... so many people have all the wonderful features and they don't even know how to use. Don't let that be you!

Congrats........

Yeahhhhhh happy for you. Now just have fun with it.

Good for you!
