Can't go wrong with Janomes. Allbrands.com has several in your price range. here is a link to a computerized machine, free shpiping, no tax....it is a few dollars more, but worth it. Good luck.For got the link,,,go to allbrands.com and type in 8077 the model number. it is $249. Compare the features and remember that Janomes are a better made machine with a good warranty. Allbrands back there machines whereas WalMart would be difficult to deal with if you have a problem with the Singer. I have purchase four different machines from Allbrands for my daughters and we have been very satisfied.
