Happy Sewer, are you still wondering whether to invest in an embroidery machine? If so, this may be a worthwhile tip for you. Go to www.emblibrary.com home page. In the far right corner is a square that you can click on; I don't know exactly what it says, but it's all to do with projects. When you click on it, it takes you to a page with an option at the top to watch videos (free). There is a huge variety of videos and PDFs to choose from; they might give you a better idea whether or not you would like and would use an embroidery machine.
