And I suspected someone would ask about that machine. It is my first computerized sewing machine, Viking (Husqvarna) Model 990 purchased back in the '80's. Built like a tank with metal where they now substitute plastic. Still hums along and is a joy to use for basic stitching and piecing. But although it is the machine I learned to free motion quilt on, it has its limitations as well as a quirk particular to this model that drove me to seek out a second machine with features that would make machine quilting easier. That would be my Viking Sapphire 850 which among other cool features, has a fairly wide harp. I'm very loyal to Viking!The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-37516145702602156612016-10-12T16:44:52.949-07:002016-10-12T16:44:52.949-07:00Really beautiful.
