I took the plunge and ordered the Husqvarna Viking Opal 690q sewing machine that was on special. It will be shipped from NJ to me in CA. Still waiting for the shipping notification (they say it could take 3 days to process.) I am so impressed with all the features this model has. Also looking forward to the 8" space "to the right of the needle." I want to order the Sew Steady table to go with this (it's on eBay) but I want to wait for my UPS ground tracking number before I do that. With my luck, I will get a notice from the sew center that there was a problem with my order and I won't be getting my machine! Keeping my fingers crossed.
