I also have a Janome and I love it! Does basic stitching as well as quilting stitches. Tried a couple of others but I like simple and easy so chose the Janome. Decent Machines start around 3-400 and up. My gf purchased a Janome on line, same as I purchesd locally, for 100$ less...$359. Check the yellow pages to see what is available in your area. Sometimes having local repair shops will add to the attraction of the machine you decide on. My gf has a bernina and has to send hers out. Takes almost 6 weeks to return as well as S&H. Mine has a local shop and takes 1 week. Best of luck on your decision.

CJ...I have a Singer Model 9410 and love it. Very simple to run and not a lot of fancy stitches. The only thing that I wished it had that it doesn't is the Embroidery stitching especially since it would look nice on some of Allison's clothes. At the beginning of the school year most of the schools around get new sewing machine and they normally get Singer's. If you check with your local Singer dealer you can pick up one for a little bit of nothing.....we paid right at $200 for this one and it would have been $600 had we bought it otherwise. Just ask them for a overstock school sewing machine. Keep us updated as to which one you get.
Hugs
