I want to buy a small, light weight, fairly inexpensive sewing machine to take with us in our small motor home when we travel. I don't think I want a Singer Featherweight, but would love to have some recommendations from others who have them to take to quilting classes, etc. Thanks for any suggestions.

Brother CE4000 is what I normally take. Bought it "like new" off Craigslist for only $60. It's lightweight and relatively small but will do a lot of different stitches. Janome makes some lightweight machines that are really good. The Magnolia comes to mind. You might even check with a local dealer to see if they have any trade-ins or demo models of some of the smaller machines. You can usually get those for a very reasonable price and they'll usually have a limited warrenty.

I would check the sewing machine places for trade ins too. Ours just had a nice little Singer for 69.99.
|
WalMart has a basic machine fr $69.99 . Sews denim great :wink:
|
Check out the Janome Gem machines...very reasonable and weigh less than 12 lbs.
|
i think the Janome Gem Gold is around $200. still expensive. i would do like previously suggested, got to a sew and vac dealer and see if they have any trade ins.

wait, sears has a little blue sewing machine..we use it as an extra at quilt group. $79.00 i think it was.
someone said that another store has it, but i don't recall if it was walmarts or kmarts.. it is the perfect little machine for travel that doesn't cost alot.. |
Sears has great portable machines and usually where ever you travel, there will be a Sears store that has basic parts for it or can order them for you.
