My embroidery machine is a Bernette 340 that I purchased a dozen years ago or so. I like it because the quality of the embroidery is excellent, but If I had to do it over, I would go with a machine that:
1. can do normal sewing and embroidery (one less machine to take up space in my sewing room) and
2. can embroider larger designs (my Bernette's maximum design size is 7.87" x 5.5")
Make sure the machine you choose has the option to add designs via internet download or USB stick because that can add thousands of additional designs to the ones the machine comes with. Embroidery designs are usually fairly cheap and sometimes even free from sites like:
