My large machines are Brothers, love them but for travel machines I prefer the lightweight Janomes. I have the Janome Platinum 760, a wonderful machine but it has been discontinued. and I also have the small Janome Jem Gold, sturdy, simple, great stitch quality. A friend has one similar to the Platinum, came out after platinum discontinued, I think JW is in the model name, can't remember for sure, she loves it.
But because of so many making masks the small less expensive machines have been hard to find, they are just now coming back on the market.
