Thanks to some helpful comments from others in this forum I’ve decided to go with a new Husqvarna Viking. My local sewing machine dealer has a special on Interlude 435s–they usually sell for $939 but they are on special for this weekend for $648. Does anyone have experience buying and using an Interlude 435 (it’s like the 445 but without a sewing advisor)? It sounds like a really good deal to me, but I would love to hear from any Interlude owners.

thanks so much!
