Husqvarna and sewing stretch vinyl

Hi all,
I'm about to buy a Husqvarna machine and I'm wondering if they sew
stretch vinyl well?
I think it's called the VIVA model? i'm really excited about getting
one, does everyone like the one they have?
thanks,
B

you might want to test your fabric with that machine before you buy it.

Dunno about the Viva, but my Lily sews it just fine. I like to use a
longer stitch than I usually do with stretch knit fabrics, and a fine
stretch needle... Sometimes you may need to use a leather needle and a
long straight stitch, as if you were sewing hides. Take a look at what
the fabric manufacturer recommends for sewing it. I don't use much of
this stuff, just the odd bit here and there for costumes.
