My new sewing machine! Viking 400


Sunday night I tried to start a new project, but my machine was NOT co-operating. So, I decided to take it back. The tension & bobbin case have had issues from the start.
I've been looking at Vikings for some time now. Just dreaming.
The sewing arts center -3330 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica was very helpful & the guy there convinced me I needed the 400 (upgradeable & w/ embroidery options) instead of the Emerald 113 ( basic machine). It wasn't very difficult to convince me, because the last 2 machines I have had have been very basic. My 1st was a refurbished Singer that gave me nothing but problems. The Brother was ok, but try anything more than a straight stitch on slow speed & you're in trouble.
This new machine is lovely. Only prob. is parts and servicing are very pricey. I feel like I'm driving a Mercedes now, and don't miss my Buick at all.
