I will never part with my Viking, it's all metal inside and will sew over anything. Also does nice free motion quilting. I just wanted a larger throat and maybe a "few" decorative stitches. I could not be happier with my Elna. It does have more stitches than I will ever use though... :)Mary Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960189014191925987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311868049479081296.post-81609005509524193082013-05-06T19:29:29.217-07:002013-05-06T19:29:29.217-07:00Okay Bernina - expensive.
