I have a Janome Gem Gold 660. Its perfect and practical for quilt weekends, or if you meet outside your home at a quilting group. There's not a lot of bells and whistles, and its very light weight. Perfect for travel and packing purposes. It came with a cloth cover bag and I also received a "quilters kit" that had additional feet... walking foot, darning, 1/4" quilt foot, etc... all for under $300.
