I’ve upgraded from my 15-year-old Singer 1022 (zig zag was about as exciting as that machine got!) to the Husqvarna Viking 415. I just took it out of its box tonight, and I can already report that I am excited about: automatic buttonholer (good for modern clothes and buttonholes that won’t show), blind hem stitch, overcast stitch, a bobbin that can be wound without unthreading the machine, and a computerized display that tells me which foot to use and where to set the thread tension!
