I love the Brother cs6000i -- $139.00 at Amazon. The feet are interchangeable with my Janome HT2008, but not with my new Janome 8900. They all take class 15 bobbins. I sew on the Brother several evenings a week as it fits on a TV tray and I sew while watching videos. I really like the machine and it weighs the same as my Singer Featherweight -- about 13 lbs. And has a lot of extras including walking and quilting feet plus an extension table.
I had a Janome Jem and sold it so I could buy the Brother -- I didn't like how limited the Jem was in stitch selection.
