Brother machines are good. I have several, one is embroidery only. All were cheap to buy. The quilting one came with an extension table and it was only $129 but that was over 7 yrs ago.
I now have a Viking Sapphire as my main machine and love it. No repairs so far and its about 5 yrs old.
Would not recomment an embroidery machine for regular sewing as embroidery is hard on a machine. I have a $300 Brother small embroidery machine that I love.
