I have the Janome Magnolia 7318. A very basic mechanical machine with a serviceable variety of stitches (straight, zigzag, scallop, stretch etc). Bought it new from Amazon for $218 a few months ago. I would like a machine with a bigger harp area someday, but honestly it's a really really nice machine. Portable yet still solid, non-vibrating; nice stitches; easy to thread; top loading bobbin with see-through cover plate; fun to use. I made a 60"x60" quilt on it last month and though a bigger harp would've been nice, I honestly didn't have any trouble quilting it with straight-line quilting.
