I have two vintage Singer Featherweight machines that I love for quilting classes. That said, my travel machine is a 70's vintage Elna Lotus. Just as light weight but also does zigzag and a few other utility stitches so if I have to make a clothing repair, I have what I need. Sweet little machine, the sides fold up to form the case. I bought mine at a garage sale but I see the prices going up on them. I sew on a Bernina at home too, and I really miss it's features when I use one of my vintage machines. I think I would recommend a 200 or 300-series Bernina so you are familiar with it and all you accessories will fit.
