I'd love to try my hand at embroidery however I don't have a machine yet though I keep looking! One of the things I do ponder about is whether it is better to have two separate machines or one combined. I keep relating this to an old washer dryer I had, couldn't wait to get rid of it and return to a washer and tumble dryer since it neither washed nor dried particularly efficiently. Would that experience bear any relevance to sewing/embroidery? Thank you for any advice.
