I agree, a Featherweight would be the best ever.. but several of the gals (8 from our group!) I quilt with have bought the new little Bernina machine.. They're are all Black (I think it's the only color), is quite inexpensive, has several choices of stitches and needle positions.. They've had theirs for months and they all love their machines.. If I were looking for a small, light weight machine I would certainly check out the Bernina before I decided on one!
