Randy, the confusion of machine shopping finally ended this past Wednesday. I took a deep breath and opted for the Memory Craft 6600P from Janome, and even tho it's only been 3 days I'm totally happy. It's more like furniture than portable (25 lbs!) but aside from taking her to the "learning lessons" I get, I doubt I'll be hauling her to a quilting class. Can't wait for the days to quiet down a bit so I can get some free time!
