Tashana, my first one was a combo that I originally purchased for sewing. I didn't want an embroidery machine but hubby talked me into it. Now I never take the embroidery piece off. To each her own, but I would personally opt for an inexpensive sewing only machine and an embroidery only one. I love my Brother PE770.
