This review is from: Janome Jem Gold Plus Portable Sewing Machine with Light Serging System (LSS) Model 661
I was looking for a lightweight machine since I no longer do much sewing and I got tired of dragging out my 50 year old Necchi when I needed to do some repair. After reading all the reviews on the Janome 660,I ordered it. In the meantime I found the 661 and it had more features that I liked. I ordered the Jem Gold Plus and sent the 660 back without opening it. I haven't tried the serger yet but it sews like a dream, doesn't vibrate and is quiet. It has a beautiful, even straight stitch (no puckering), and the zig zags are all every even.

Ive never owned a machine manufactured before 1970 so this machine may seem so great bc of its lightness and ease of use but I was looking for something that could be stowed easily and had an easy bobbin to use (could no longer lift my old one to access the bobbin). I didn't care about having a whole lot of stitch options but these are a good selection. And I absolutely love the server. Customer support from the vendor (ken's) was awesome.
