I'd appreciate any insights you might have!
singer feather weight for piecing and taking to class or the singer 301.
singer 201, singer 15-91, singer 401 for piecing and quilting.
The 401 has all kinds of stitches if you have the cams.
I like the vintage Bernina 830. You can lift and move it and is great for piecing. It is supposed to free motion wonderfully. I think the troath opening is a bit small for that and I would grab one of the Singers.
Have fun picking your machines. Remember many are very heavy so you might need something for taking along too.
