Thank you...this is helpful. I've been looking on Amazon and I've got it narrowed down to two machines :
This Janome

And this Brother
https://www.amazon.com/Brother-Proje...s%2C277&sr=8-9
I'm reading reviews for both of them, and I'm leaning toward the Janome. One of my Kenmore machines from the '80s was made by Janome and I've always liked that machine. And this Janome has a metal frame, which is something that I can appreciate.
The only thing I don't like is that the stitch chart is a separate cardboard card, but I don't think it's a dealbreaker. Don't know...gotta think about it.
