I have a Janome Jem Gold. Nice compact machine.
Pros: Very light weight...only 12 lbs, which was a plus for portability purposes (especially when you have tons of other quilting gadgets you need to carry at the same time!). This machine doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but has a variety of stitches for basic sewing and quilting, and it also came with a "quilters kit" a variety of feet: walking, darning, 1/4" quilt and a few others as well as a soft cover. Its a nice little machine for piecing and small/medium size projects.
Cons: The internal light is not that strong, so an extra lighting source is needed. The foot pedal for me is a bit narrow and sometimes slips on carpeting, but if you put a non-skid gripper mat underneath or have it on a non slip surface it is fine. The power cord is not that long, so having it close to a power source is needed.
Good luck in your search!
