Katy, I have a Viking 905, which I believe is still sold, that I bought at least 10 years ago. It's pretty basic, but easy to thread and runs like a trooper. You can do 2, 3 or 4 thread stitches, and it's easy to switch to/from rolled hems, etc. http://www.husqvarnaviking.com/us/880.htm
I finally had it serviced a few months ago, because it was acting up, and got thoroughly scolded by the service technician for not having it regularly serviced or oiling it every 100 hrs. So, to quote the old Timex ad, it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! My friend has the 910, which is the exact same machine, but it has a "sewing advisor" display that helps you to set the tension, differential, etc, rather than looking up the settings in the manual. Not worth the extra money, IMO... ~mary ________________________________ The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists. ~ Charles Dickens >Message: 5 >Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 06:55:24 -0400 >From: "Katy Bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [h-cost] Overlocker thread > >I had a very early Viking home serger, bought about 25 years ago, that >was always such a pain to thread and the tension would get screwed up >easily.
