there is a Janome sewist 525 on ebay that i saw yesterday that was going for around 75. I have one and love it. it works great. has all sorts of stitches and you can buy other feet for quilting. I would recomend getting a walking foot however. it will make things easier. (I am trying to find it on ebay but ebay is running slow this morning. just type in janome sewing machines and you should be able to find it.)
