I don't know where you are in NC but I bought a Janome My Style which weighs between 12 and 13 pounds so I can take it to classes or quilt guild. I also have a Janome 10001 and my 1/4" foot works perfectly. I bought it at Ye Olde Forest Quilt Shop in Greensboro. If you buy it and don't have a Janome machine do buy the 1/4" foot. It is great for sewing quilt seams.
