I have a Jem Gold (which I leave at an all day Open Sew where I go twice a week) and a Jem Platinum which is my everyday home machine
They are both lightweight and I love both of them
If I could only have one, I'd get the Platinum as it has needle down function and, more important, does a scant 1/4".
I also have a Bernina which was always my workhorse and I still use it to machine quilt. It's 20+ yrs old and very heavy.

I have two Janome Jem Golds and they are years old and no problem at all from either one. Kids sew on them, beginner sewers and a couple of nephews who had a who can make the machine go faster race and the Jems are still sewing like new.

For a small light weight machine I will take a vintage Singer featherweight any day. I have 3 and they take turns going with me to classes and quilt groups. If you feel a need for reverse try their big sister the Singer 301.
