Hope everything goes okay for you and your mom.
Janome Sew Mini. They are about $49 at Hancock Fabrics. They are a little bit bigger than a kids sewing machine but run like a regular sewing machine. I work at Hancock and gals there buy them for traveling and for keeping them in their campers, etc. Haven't had one returned so I think they really like them.

If you are not wanting to invest a lot of $$, I have a Brother CS6000i that I purchased just to take to classes. It is lightweight, inexpensive (I have seen them on Ebay for as low as $169.00 - I purchased mine from QVC). It comes with several feet, mine even came with a walking foot! It is a great little machine.

...just make sure whatever you take can work with an adapter.....aren't the outlets overseas different than ours????
You can shop online for an inexpensive lightweight machine....I have a brothers that fits the bill perfectly - fits in the overhead compartment even after the airlines scaled down their oveheads!

I have a Janome Jem Gold and actually brought it as a carry on. Fits in the over head. I found a small rolling tote that fit it perfectly and was even able to put my extension table in there too. I figured even 12 lb.s gets heavy after carring it around the airport for awhile.
Hope your Mom is better soon

The 3160 is the same as a 760 only with a bigger body. Same lightweight. Comes with ext table and hardcover case. Gotta love Janome for those lightweight, easy to carry machines! :)
