Hi Melissa,
I have had my Husqvarna Viking since 1978. Before that, I had a Singer for 12 years. The Viking is a marvelous machine; it's done everything I wanted it to do, and more. After all these years, my Viking is still going strong; I have no intentions of ever replacing it. It's a great machine. It's only needed servicing two times in 28 years. I can't say that much for the Singer.
Recently, when I had my Viking serviced for the second time, the shop said nothing but good things about my Viking, but showed me the new models, and I was blown away. Now, sewing machines are interfaced with computers, such that you can have your sewing machine embroider just about anything you can download off the computer. It's mind-boggling.
For me, I would look into the serger. While my Viking does over-edging, and in fact does it well, I use this feature more than any other. A serger would be my next investment.
If you intend to use the machine for nothing but quilting, then I would talk with your instructor as to her recommendations.
I wasn't real crazy about quilting, but it had nothing to do with the sewing machine and everything to do with my patience level. I hope you enjoy the classes.
Bev
