Debbie, Janome-New Home makes a light weight easy to use model for about $l50.00, can't remember what its called. It has a few more stitches than u wanted, maybe 17 but is ideal for crafter/quilters. I can find out the model if you want. They sell it at the sewing shop I use. I've been wanting one for myself for classes when I don't need my big one. Some dealers give lessons on how to use the machines. Hope this helps you & good luck. Gay
