I Have a Viking Designer 1, IT IS MY ONLY EMBROIDERY MACHINE. IT IS TEN YEARS OLD NOW AND A REAL WORK HORSE. IT WORKS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT DID THE DAY I BOUGHT IT. IT HAS MANY SIZES OF HOOPS, BUT I FIND FOR WHAT I DO I USE MAINLY THE 4 X 4 OR THE 5 X 7. I MAKE SURE IT GOES INTO THE SHOP ONCE A YEAR FOR A TOTAL WORK UP. THERE ARE MANY NICE MACHINES OUT THERE, HOPE YOU FINE THE ONE YOU REALLY WANT. FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH, IF I WERE GOING TO BUY A NEW MACHINE TOM
MARROW IT WOULD BE A VIKING!!!!
