Sunnyfl writes: Help, I have been comparing machines for quite sometime, which is a better machine Viking Diamond versus Babylock Ellisomo. Which is better embroidery design, user friendly, more punching power? Thank you! Posted: 1:34 pm on August 8th

KarenQuiltsTx writes: I just can't believe that no one mentions the fact that these machines no longer have a presser foot lifter lever! All you do is tap the pedal and the foot lifts or lowers. What an incredible time saver. What an innovation. Even the manufacturer doesn't hype this enough! I own the Topaz 30, which is a marriage of the previous Sapphire 870 (their premium sewing-only machine) with embroidery. I am soooo much more productive in my quilting and clothing work. The machine is so smart, I almost never touch the handwheel anymore, and the auto pivot feature makes turning corners (I do a lot of machine applique) something I no longer have to think twice about. Thanks for telling us about these machines... but sure would be nice if you would tell us more. Your coverage was too brief! how about expanding the info in the magazine with more online coverage?!

We had Viking sewing machines in College (Missori Western State College), I was a Theatre Major and fell in love with Viking sewing machines. Nary a tangle, it was the most incredible sewing machine I ever sewed on and FAST. Posted: 11:27 pm on March 25th
