I currently sew on a Singer machine from like the 1800's

. Okay, not that old but close enough. So, I'm searching for a good, reliable sewing and embroidery machine in one. I've seen a few Singer and Brother ones that I'm interested in but want some input before I go ahead and just get one. I know with some you are able to access it with your computer, does that mean that you can use whatever you want/can find to embroider or is it still limited? If it isn't like that, how much does it usually run to have other images to embroider?

I hope I'm making sense.

Also, what are some other good machines besides Singer and Brother? Are there any? It's just sooo overwhelming searching for a new one.

What do you use?

I'd like to keep the price reasonable as I know that they can get up there price-wise. I don't mind if it's not TOP OF THE LINE, SEW BY ITSELF type of stuff - after all, I'm coming from a sewing machine that messes up quite a bit and just sews and that's all.

Thanks in advance for any help or opinions, they're GREATLY appreciated.
