I had a Husqvarna Viking Embroidery machine and loved it. Then my DH and DS decided to upgrade my computer and the Viking was no longer compatible. So DH bought me a Husqvarna Topaz 2. I sold the Viking on Ebay. Don't forget there is alot to but beyond the machine. I would go to a quilting shop that deal in the machine that you are interested in and get all the information and classes. I love mime and have used embroidery designs instead of quilting the finished quilt
