I sold Husqvarna Viking & Singers for 1 1/2 years and fell in love
with the Sapphire 870 and bought one. 1 month after my purchase the 870 began to have major problems, it had several manufacturing defects. The frame was warped and the bobbin case wasn't setting in place properly, my dealer(boss) sent it in and a month later the company sent me a brand new 870. I promptly traded-up to the Sapphire 875 and have been happy ever since. I have sewn and machine quilted many quilts and recently made a pair of denim shorts, all perfect stitches.
I have Berninas,Pfaffs and old Singer machines. I guess I just like to have a variety of machines to choose from.
