I have a Brother SE400. I bought it through Amazon on their Black Friday deal a couple of years ago, but Wal-Mart also sells the same model. It is computerized, about $350 or less on sale. It is about a mid-weight, but still light enough to take with you. Have not had a problem with it no matter what I have sewed. I really want to invest in one of the top-of-the-line Brother or Janome, but it will be a long time before that will happen. Good luck in your decision process.
