One of the machines under consideration is a Viking 940, yet some (non-Viking) dealers have told me that Viking quality has been declining in recent years and they are now being carried on name alone. This could be true or it could be a sales tactic to persuade me to buy one of their models. I would greatly appreciate comments from anyone who has purchased a Viking (of any model) in the last six years in regards to their quality. Both favorable and unfavorable responses are solicited. A decision will need to be made by December 10, so a prompt reply would be appreciated.
