There's no support for the Singer from Joann's. I have a Confidence Stylist that I bought from there several years ago. Granted she has been a workhorse and I still use her on occassion, but I love my Brother Dreamcreator. There are several other Brothers in your price range with a lot of bells and whistles. I would do like others have said and go to a dealer and check out the price range on the machines. You may be surprised.
