Actually it is they seem to be calling them selves "Inspira" these days.
I have not noticed any change in any of them Viking, Pfaff or Singer, and
White since the change in investor groups.

Web site has become much easier to use, there is postings of brochures
now too. Something we have fought for a long time to get. The Smart
machines are out. But generally the people are much easier to deal
with. Many of the old guys are gone and the Singer people are doing
both VSM/Pfaff and Singer now. Also no delays in parts and no one
tells us they cannot get it because it is not current stock. I was
able to acquire 3 more 7570 hooks to put in new machines about 3 weeks
ago. I use them rather than the new ones because I think they are
better. So far all replacements have been ok. I just know that the
Canadian operations are much easier going now---people do not seem so
uptight anymore.

They had better watch the Inspira thing.....there is a digitizer that
uses that name and she is a right bear about the mis use of her
business name. I have seen the Inspira attached to that quilt frame
thing they are trying to sell.

I am guessing the difference is in the Canadian operations and the US. As I
said I have not noticed one bit of difference in anything all the same
people I have been dealing with right along too.

The only person I know of that is no longer at Viking America is Bengt
Gerborg, former President of the US operation, who recently retired.

Then the same can hold true for Pfaff, Bernina, Husqvarna, Baby Lock,
Brother, Viking, and others for many of their models. Kenmores have
been done by Janome for some time now. White also did them way back
before Electrolux purchased them under the HV label, when White was a
brand to contend with. Pfaff does not build any of their machines
anymore. There are NO Pfaff plants at least there are still Singer
plants. They are assembled in the Czech Republic or Sweden does that
then negate the Pfaff brand or lessen the quality. True that Singer
has produced some dogs, but then so has many of the other brands, and
as more brands are combined under new holding companies there will be
even less difference. Pfaff is a close to non-existence as a company
can get.
