I worked in a dressmaking shop in Lexington, KY while a grad student at UK. One of the 3 machines there was a Viking. I loved it. Have always wanted to own one, but I have 4 sewing machines and a serger. That's enough. And they are also VERY expensive.

You got a great gift!

I have had Vikings since 1981 and have had no trouble at all with the threading of them. I love my Vikings.
