I would not waste your money on the Janome sew-mini. I picked this one up for my daughter and it it really set up for very young, new sewers. You cannot change the feet, change the needle position or anything. I bought it for $40 and ended up unloading it for $20. I just picked up a Janome 2018 at a quilt show for $67 and it pieces very nicely. The Jems are good too.
