Sorry I know nothing about this machine...never heard of it. I have Babylocks. H&*
If you can go to the Ruby, you may be happier. It is what you can afford. I have a friend that has the Topaz 30 and an older Designer I, and she prefers her older machine. I have the SE's, and have used a Ruby at the shop.
Sorry , I can not help as I only have Bernina machines. I love my Bernina's
I've got an 'old now' Husqvarna Designer II sewing/quilting/embroidery machine. It's wonderful. I love it.
It's a real workhorse - strong, reliable.
My old HVDII is a real ambassador for Husqvarna but be sure to know that you have available servicing for any machine you buy.
I haven't seen the Topaz or Ruby in action.

I have a brother with a 4x4 hoop and i am planning to make myself a christmas present and plan on buying another brother with a 5x7 hoop. I am looking into PE770, so that I don't have to change my format.
So My gift to myself might be by the end of this month.
I have a Topaz 20 and love it. I have never had a problem with it. DeVon
Good morning, I've only ever had Husqvarna machines and absolutely love them. I don't know about the Topaz, but anything made by Husqvarna in my opinion is worth buying. Love Chris
If looking at Viking machines you may want to check out the Ruby. It has a much better screen view and connectivity with the computer. I think it is much easier to use.
I too have brother machines and am quite happy, but have to say Husqvarna is the best...go for it..you won't be disappointed..I sure wasn't..I also bought a new Husqvarna..Good Luck with your choice..
