So happy with sewing machine purchase.
Over Memorial Weekend, I purchased the lightweight and portable Janome 3128 during Hancock Fabric's sale. I am loving it! It is only 11 lbs., has a carrying handle, a light, very easy to thread/wind and insert bobbin, 17 stitches, snap-on feet, reverse stitch and several other features. In addition to the regular foot, it includes a 1/4 foot with the ridge. It sews very quietly - enough that I will use it in the dining room while dh watches TV. The only features it lacks are a thread cutter and drop feed dogs. Supposedly, Hancock's has this sale periodically throughout the year. It is valued at $179, but their price was only $89. Shipping for items over $35 was free. For the price and quality, I would recommend this machine, especially for travel and classes.

Congratulations! It's nice to hear when someone is happy with their machine I'm thinking of getting a lighter weight machine to take with me to sewing groups - but then I talk myself out of it because of the slower stitch speed. I'm so used to the speed of mine that I'm afraid I'd be impatient with a slower one - I need a faster one lol.
