For a new one, you will spend well over your 1000.00. You will be able to get a used one in your range.
But then comes technology. You will need a way to get the designs from the computer to the machine. Maybe with a used one, a reader/writer box will be included and the softwear to do it.
If you get a new machine, they are now going to flash drives to transfer files. Much cheaper than the old boxes. You would be better off in the long run with a new model.
If you are just getting into embroidery, consider the costs of the threads and stabilizer too. It is NOT a cheap hobby.
For designs, yes, you can purchase those cards from the machine company----very expensive. But if you have a way to take them to the machine from the computer, there are many low cost and free designs available on the internet.
I got into embroidery blind. I had no idea that I needed more equipment and softwear after I purchased the machine.
