Husqvarna Opal 690Q
I currently have a Singer Stylist 7258. It worked great for a couple months, but it has consistently had issues ever since and the throat is not quite 6”. I am now in the market for a new machine that I can piece with, quilt on, and still do some general sewing. I’ve been researching and reading reviews since November; I had pretty much settled on the Janome 4120QDC. After a visit to my local quilt shop this morning, I am now leaning toward the Husqvarna/Viking Opal 690Q. It has been challenging to find reviews on this machine, I’m assuming it’s due to this machine mainly being sold by a dealer. Has anyone used this machine to advise on it’s pros/cons? Opinions on Janome vs Husqvarna/Viking? (Singer is not an option - I’ve had 2 machines and they both were “buggy” or “lemons”)
