I have a little Brother that only weights about 10 lbs and is a real workhorse. it's a Model Se270D. I bought it online about 5 years ago and it has not been in the shop except for it annual cleaning. I bought it reconditioned, originally $999.99 and I got it for 299.99. She is an embroidery machine as well. She has the thread cutter and needle up/down feature. I love her and use her every day. I have another Brother machine that I like that came with a large table as well. I alsoe have a White that is a workhorse but it is not as lightweight as the Brother.
