I have a Viking Deginer SE and paid over $5000.00 for it. I do not use it to it'e fullest potential but I in no way want to mess it up so I will continue to pay the man to clean mine. I do not feel bad at all paying him to clean it. I go to the dr when I need to so my baby can get a cleaning once a year.

So it was a bit of sticker shock when I asked the local vacuum/sewing store what they'd charge to clean my "new" old machine: $85. Is this the standard going rate now? (and, yes, I know $20 was A Deal, even back then)
