My first response was you need a FW for a back-up. But they do not have a zig-zag unless you buy the attachment (and that is a royal pain.) I have the Europro - not sure of the model and I don't believe it is made anymore. Got it from HSN many years ago and it is my travel machine. It was only $100.00. A friend of mine got hers from Target. It has the little extension table which is nice. And very light weight. But you may want to check out HSN. They had a couple of light weight Brother machines and Janomes.
But that little Brother at Walmart has the extension table too and everyone I know that has a Brother machine has been very happy with them.
