It boils down to what YOU want...do you want the newer Janome?
Charlee, do you know how much the Singer weighs? I have no experience in Singer sewing machines, but I do have a Janome Jem. LaQuita says she's had shoulder surgeries and is looking for a lighter weight machine to bring to classes/retreats. Would this be around 12 lbs or so?
