A 301 the big sister of the Feather weight. (you can take this one along too and even has a cute cary handle) Other ones would be Singer 15-91, 201 but you need some strogn arms if you'd like to take them along to class.
We have two Feather weights and two singer 301 but the Singer 301 is the one that gets used. Other nic emachines are the Elna Supermatic. It sews like a dream. I am pretty sure the after market feet, quarter inch, walking foot, free motion foot, that work for my singer 15-91 also fit on my Elna Supermatic. Many of the signers coem in nice cabinets. With older machines you might need to replace the cord and have some one look at it and clean it unless you can do it yourself.
