I have two Janomes and a Bernina...love both brands but if I were looking for a smaller machine for classes I would find enough features on a small Janome at a lot less money than a Bernina and I’m sure Brother, Singer, Pfaff and all the rest have light weight machines too. What machine are you using in your sewing room Pamela?
