Looking for a new machine

Posted by sin4sure@aol.com on April 8, 2006, 8:27 am

I am ready to buy another machine. Yipeeeeeee. I want a
sewing/embroidery combo and definitly another Viking.
I really can not afford the SE or the EES, droooool :)~~~~~ ,
but am looking at the pre-loved mid-range models. Prob not over
$1000.00
Can you all makes any suggestions as to what I should look at? I do
some work for friends and the option of being able to do some of the
fancier stitch work appeals to me.
Also the option of one-touch button-holes I really like. Setting the
first button hole then the machine will copy the same over and over.
Gotta love THAT feature!

Thanks

Cindy

Sounds like you have already got a machine in mind...........I would
not buy a combination machine. You can get a separate embroidery
machine and a decent sewing machine for your money and not have to
constantly switch around. Also.....that way you can do 2 things at
once.

At least, that is what I would do...........

Works if you have the space... I've yet to see the results of a single
needle domestic embroidery machine that does it as well as the Husqvarna
combination machines. If you want better, you're looking at much more
money for a multi-needle commercial job.
