I love my Janome Jem Platinum 720. It weighs 12 pounds and can be carried quite easily with the built in handle. It can do more than straight or zigzag stitches, has a needle up/down position,start/stop button, reverse button. Best of all, I don't have to use a foot pedal (helps prevent back problems since your foot isn't stretched away from your body).

Has anyone tried the Elna Lotus or Stella. They are from the 70's and everything is contained in one neat package. They are going for higher and higher prices on Ebay. Not quite as heavy as a Featherweight and some have a zig-zag feature. { I also have several featherweights (221 and a 222).} The Lotus is cute, but more modern. lol
