One thing to consider ... I know I can not switch machines when working on the same project.
|
I also have a Jem Gold and use it all the time for classes - even take it when I travel. I have an Elna at home and all the feet work on both of them...I work on projects on both my Janome and my Elna and have had no problem.

I have a pink 3/4 Kenmore, which is equivallent to the Janome Miss Kitty sewing machine.
I also have a Singer Genie from the 70's which is a little heavier (19lbs) but is very compact because the foot and cord are stored in the top of the case. |
Can any of you Gem owners tell me if it has a needle-down feature?
|
I have a Janome 760 Gem I take to classes every week. Lightweight enough for me. I also have a cart I put it in. Hubby usually puts it in the car for me. Otherwise I carry them out separately myself then put the machine into the cart to pull into my LQS for classes.

I have a Janome Gem--must have had it about 12 years now. Very lightweight for classes but mine is very basic.
No needle up/down feature, but I am sure some of the models all these years later probably would have it. I have done some FMQ with it, some quilt in the ditch, some mending, etc. It does real good for a small machine. Chris |
I have a Brother which is lightweight and a good machine. Bought it at WM for less than $50.00. I also have a FW and I think the Brother is lighter.
|
I have a Janome Gem for classes and love it.
|
You might also consider the Baby Lock Audrey... Comparable to the Janome Gem, but a little bit less expensive
