No, but I'm sure glad you got a good machine this time!

I am so glad that you finally got somewhere with this company. I love happy endings :D

I just bought a H. Viking at Joanns. Any problems I had they were very helpful. They are knowledgeable about all the machines they sell
If you have a Joanns where you live check it out. The main reason I bought there was it was easy to get help.
It sounds like you got a lemon.

I just got a Designer SE in February 2008, before that I had a Designer 1. I am also having trouble with the free motion quilting. I keep getting skipped stitches no matter how I try to sew. I was doing great for half the quilt and then it started again. Last time I took it to the dealer and it seemed to work for half of the quilt but now it keeps skipping stitches. I have changed the needle, tension, speed but I keep getting skipped stitches. Does anyone have a solution? :roll:

Im lucky enough to have a Joanns that sells Viking so problems are easy to take care of. We also have an expert repair shop locally for viking but so far have not needed repairs on mine.
