Looking for a machine
#1
I want a light weight machine to carry to classes and retreats. I don't want it to have a lot of fancy features, I just want one with straight stitch and maybe a few more. I want one with a front load bobbin.
Anyone have any recommendations?

The rummage sale that my mother volunteers at in Jersey just got a featherweight in...
They are checking it today to see if it works or not....
But for new machines a lot of ladies that meet at the sewing store I go to uses a Janome Gem. It's compact but packs a punch! I strong arm my big machine around with me - okay, not my REALLY big machine lol that one weighs 70 lbs - but my 4900qc I just put her in a rolling case and go - but I can see how having a 3/4 size machine for retreats would be sweet!
I'm not sure about the other companies out there but I know Janome makes one just for this kind of situation and all the women that I know that have them love theirs!

Thanks everyone!!
I recently went to a retreat and a lady there had a Quilters Machine model
#1740 form White. It was great, she said she had bought it on HSN and loved it. I have been on the White website but you can't order directly from them. They list Joanns and Hancock as dealers but I can't pull one up
on Joanns website. I am going to call the Hancock store that is about 3 hrs. from me tomorrow and ask about it.
