I bought my granddaughter the Janome Hello Kitty 3/4 size machine and if I didn't have a featherweight I would buy one for myself for classes. It's a great machine. It is not a toy at all. (The 1/2 size Hello Kitty is considered a toy machine.) In fact it looks identical to the one IFWO45 posted about only has Hello Kitty on it. Same price too.
