It's great because it's lightweight and it sews as nice as my "at-home" Bernina. I love mine and recommend it highly for traveling. I have the 760 for my class/workshop machine.

Jenome's have drop in bobbins. The machines I've seen have less bobbin capacity than the side or front bobbins. (Plus, if you're quilting on something and run out of bobbin thread, you have to take your project off the machine to change it.) Just my opinion.....

I think you would enjoy it a lot. It is a great little machine, and the only reason I say little is because it is so light. I think you would enjoy it a lot.

Now ... why on earth would you tote that big, expensive machine out in the snow and ice. I told my spouse I was buying the lil Jem Gold. I LOVE IT. It fits in several of my totes or bags, it's super lightweight, it sews beautifully, and it has a great selection of stitches. Only thing that I would complain about is that it sews somewhat slow ... when I am in a rush. I would purchase it again in a heartbeat. Enjoy :) Vic Judy,
