LOL... its seems like everyone narrowed it down to the Janome or the Brother. I think I will have to ask around and find a way to see them in person at this point. I thought I had this solved when I got the Singer 160 fell in love with it's Looks but II really don't care for it. Not enough features and the noise is unbearable for long sewing sessions. Thanks everyone for the input so far, it has given me a lot to think about!
