About 4 or 5 years ago or so Viking had a recall on one of their models
of sewing machines, also priced around $5,000. It, too, was an
electrical problem. If I remember correctly the recall was a danger of
electrocution.

Geez.

I went back and re-read the recall and I'm wondering if this is the
original recall from several years ago and they thought best to make it
public again?? Interesting!

Anyway, thanks!

The 1/1+ machines seem to be snakebit... CPSC announcements are:
Dec 1999: Designer 1+: defective power cord/transformer connection; shock risk
11,000 machines
Oct 2002: Designer 1: power supply smoking/catching fire
1,100 machines
Feb 2006: Designer 1: power supply arcing; 3 fires
5,500 machines

Kay,
The 1+ is different than the Designer 1 (The 1+ was the Viking TOL
before the Designer 1 came out). I don't think the 1+ has ever had a
recall.
