Thank you everyone who posted here! I ended up purchasing the Janome Jem Platinum 760!! The 760 was on sale $200 off, when I told my darling hubby.. he said, 'buy the 760, silly!!' ... he didn't have to encourage me one little bit to upgrade it to the 760!! It is on order so I'm sitting here anxiously awaiting my little Jem,(pun intended)to take to Quilt group and our RV trips!! I am SEW Blessed, and very very thankful!
