I like my Brother CS6000i too :)

Singer Featherweight, 11 lbs., or Singer 301, 16 lbs.. The 301 also has a carry handle built in and you are able to do FMQ as the feed dogs drop. Both are excellent machines.

Original Featherweight or 301 is my call as well.

Janome Gem weighs about 12 lbs. I have one and they work great!

Janome Jem if you want a new one. A lady on here has 2 Janome's for sale, one is a Janome DC2007LE and it is a great class machine, too, for the money.

If you want a new machine, the Brother CS6000i weighs 11 pounds, plus it comes with a bunch of different feet, including a darning foot, even feed foot and hard plastic case for less than $200. As light as it is, I'm betting that it isn't great for free-motion quilting - it also has a drop-in bobbin, so the stitches with FMQ might not be very good, either. But, it handles quilt piecing, garment construction and ordinary household sewing tasks very well and it's easy to operate. Have fun! :) |
Janome has a new machine the DC5010 (I think) and it's awesome, small and provides a lot.
