The sad thing here is that I gave away my little Singer because it was having bobbin issues. Now I am KICKING myself! Oh well.... live and learn. I think I will go to a sewing and vacuum store and see if there are any trade-ins. Thanks!

I have this machine and it works really well, I have had no problems with it, and it is light enough to take anywhere! I have been using it now for almost 2 years and it has completed many many projects

Go to Allbrands.com
They usually ship free, no tax, and they back their machines.
I have purchased 4 machines for family and myself and have never been disappointed. Janome has some good computerized machines at reasonable prices.

I have this machine as a second machine. I love it. It is lightweight and sews like a dream. It comes with a walking foot and darning foot and bobbins are easily found. The decorative stitches are lovely. IMO a good buy. I got mine at WM for $155 and had 90 days to return it if not satisfied. I had it shipped to my home. Couldn't have been any easier!

I also have a cheap Brother and you cant beat the quality for the price. Mine was a quilting machine and came with the walking foot and a plastic table. Got it at Tuesday Morning for 129 dollars. Its been a great machine with no problems. I now use it as my backup for my more expensive Viking.

Janome has several machine that have thread cutters. I love my 6600 for that reason....of course there are other features too. A less expensive Janome would be good, so your feet and attachments would fit, just make sure that your "low shank" or "high shank" match the machine you choose.
