Susie,
I would go with the Jamone if that is the only choice you have. I don't think the entry level machines are made as durable as the middle to upper machines. If you are trying to keep the cost down, I would look at Estate sales for a good machine or a good trade in. As I stated in another posting, I have the Bernina 830, great machine. I use a Singer feather weight for quilt piecing. Presently for everyday sewing I have a Pfaff with built in walking foot that I love. But, I never purchases the bottom of the line.
