I bought my Jem Platinum 760 at a quilt show for a fabulous price. Mostly to take to classes and a retreat I'm going to in October. But, I pulled it out for everyday piecing and I absolutely love it. Now I keep my Sapphire 850 set up for quilting and use the Jem exclusively for piecing. It's the best little workhorse of a machine I've sewn with yet. And, only 12 pounds. :thumbup:
