I have 3 machines. None cost over $250. One is a singer heavy duty singer and one is a serger (brother) and one a sewer/embroidery machine (brother) I am happy with everyone. If I were in my 20's to 40's and had the time to sew like I do now, I 'd get an embroidery/sewing with a good reputation and not terribly expensive, and also a baby lock serger. Never had time to do lots of sewin when I was younger. Now it is dresses for the great grands and dolls for the sick kids. Will be 72 in a month and think it is too late for expensive stuff at this point in my life.
