Hubby is buying me a Janome Jem Platinum for taking to classes and using in the camper; as it only weighs 12 lbs. and also has alot of little extras. Called, and made arrangements to pick it up at the quilt show next weekend. Will save the Kenmore I use for classes to do !curtains, shorten his jeans, and other heavy jobs. I know my Horizon can do all that; but why risk breaking anything on that when my tough Kenmore will do the dirty jobs. lol
