3 forum posts | Hello! Please give advice on which sewing machine to choose. I have already reviewed many different models here, so consider two: 1. Janome 2212 2. Brother CS6000i I choose a sewing machine so that there is an optimal price-quality ratio. May be some other options? Which machine can you advise based on your own experience? |

I don't have any experience of either of the machines that you mention so I can't advise you there. Margaret |

Weight comes into it in that case! Rosemary x I'm going to use it at home, and I’m unlikely to move it often. I don’t want a lot of difficulties to arise, so I’m looking for an extremely simple model |
