Our Viking/Pfaff store is still selling Viking Sapphires. Not a Babylock in sight!!!!! I have a Viking 6460 that's 34 years old, just sold a 10 year old Viking Designer 1, and in March 2011, purchased a Viking Emerald 203, which I am really enjoying using!!! Haven't heard a word about Viking making any changes & I'm in the store once a week!!!
