Ok, here's my 2 cents worth. I have a featherweight and I love it, but don't use it that much. I have a Janome 6600 and a Janome 3050; love both machines. Now the 6600 is wayyyy more than my 3050. There's also a machine right up from the 3050; not sure which one. But either of these machines would be good. These are two things I would really love on any machine and that is the thread cutter and threader (the 3050 doesn't have the cutter). And a good reliable dealer is always nice. She might like a say on the matter too.
