I don't know if I should go with a Vernon's because that's what I'm used to, a Janome because that's. Whet the shop in the mountains sells or something entirely different since it wont be my primary machine. I would like to keep the cost at a minimum also.
I have 4 Janome's and wouldn't use anything else. They are extremely reliable, user friendly, and are work horses. I have 2 Jem Gold's, one non computerized and the other one computerized. They only weigh 11 lbs and are great for traveling, taking to a class, etc. I highly recommend you consider a Jem Gold. The price is good, and I just can't say enough about the machine. Have never had a problem of any kind with any of my Janome's.
