I have taken my Jenome to many many classes and so far no damage. I have a rolling tote and am very careful with it. It is not an embroidery machine. I have been told many times to use the same machine on the whole quilt. I bought a small Jenome to transport to classes, but the 1/4 inch foot was not accurate. My big machine has a perfect 1/4 inch, so off to classes she goes.
