Thankfully, I never had any problems with it. The new dealer was another 45 miles past where they used to have their business. When we left NC I had a Viking. There was no dealer close for it either. Now that we have moved to TN it is even farther for it. Can't afford a Bernina which is the only dealer left in the area. Ann in TN

If your close to Ashville, NC there is a Viking dealer there. There is a Janome dealer in Kingsport, TN but I have not been able to locate the store.
I have been blessed and not had any problems with my machine
