My main machine is a Janome 4900 and I love it. But I hated taking it anywhere. So, last year, I bought a Janome Platinum 720 and it is a sweetheart. Lightweight, easy to transport, basic stitches and best of all, both machines use the same feet! Right now I have them both set up. One is dedicated to a top I am making, that uses the Angler and the other is used for everything else that is going on in my sewing room.
