I have to go with the majority... Janome Gem....I have the platinum and it does everything you need it to do!
I heard from our Bernina dealer that the newest Bernette is really having issues, so stay clear of that...

I take my Singer 301a, a little heavier than the Featherweight, has a carrying handle, and doesn't vibrate or jump around on the table, sews alot better than most of the newer machines. I have a Featherweight, but am not really crazy about.

I love my Brother HS2000 that I got from AllBrands.com!! I'm doing everything with it & it's a little trooper! I have a 20 lb lifting limit as I have a real bad back & this can be lifted with one hand! Can't say enough good things about it! I got it last June & it's been sewing almost non-stop without a problem even with the walking foot & the FMQ foot.
