Good inexpensive machine

This seems like the place for this question. I have been considering purchasing an inexpensive machine for taking to our charity quilting once a month and also to quilt camp 2 times each year. I have a viking designer 1 but hate hauling it around as it's heavy and overkill for what I'm doing. I mostly use straight stitch at both places and maybe just a zig zag or something. I have never owned anything but Viking but am not excited about the prices on them right now. Any ideas?? I know you will have many and I appreciate it.

I purchased an inexpensive Janome that had been refurbished and is very light. I love it. I purchased it with free shipping, a one year warranty from Overstock.com and it was only $85.00. That was 2 years ago, but I have seen other Janome's on there under $100.

I bought a refurbished Brother cs6000i for $125 to take to classes. I got it online from Ken's Sewing in Alabama. He has a Brother internet contract and sells many, many machines very reasonable and will take care of them, too. I do business with him whenever I need a machine or parts. He is great to work with and I do recommend him. The first machine I bought from him I was afraid of having it shipped with damage so we drove over to his shop in northwest Alabama. My Brother I had him ship and I couldn't have been more pleased with his packaging, and will never have to worry about shipping from him again.
