Talk to me about Sewing Machines

I've recently started to get a little more "crafty" than I've ever been.  I have started knitting and crocheting and am seeing lots of little sewing projects that I'd love to try.  Definitely a beginner, but if I start sewing a lot I don't want to end up have to upgrade really soon.  So I guess I don't want something cheap and tiny, but I don't need it to do a million stitches either.  Do any of you sew?  What are you favorite machines?  Any projects you love?

    As far as sewing machines go, my honest recommendation is to go to amazon and read reviews. 

    I haven't really used mine yet, but I got mine from there, after double checking with a friend who sews like a mad woman.

    I'm actually curious about this. I've been looking into learning some sort of hobby, like crocheting again or sewing.

    I'm brand new to sewing. As in JUST bought a machine and I'm trying to figure it out. It's a Brother, but I don't remember the model #. I like it so far, but I'm an amateur. 

    I agree with reading reviews on Amazon, that's how I chose mine.

    Unless you want to get super artsy fartsy with machine embroidery, a basic machine with a few stitch options (straight and zigzag with stretch stitch options) will do everything you need it to do. It's the various presser feet that will really help you get a good result with your sewing and they don't cost much to add and build up a collection.

    I registered for this guy, it had pretty good reviews, the highest rated one was about $50 or 60 more. http://www.amazon.com/Brother-XL2600I-Affordable-25-Stitch-Free-Arm/dp/B000F7DPEQ/ref=wr_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2X2LTRB4467PK&coliid=I2AUBSPAKNE8BV

     I know the basics of sewing since my mom is a great seamstress but would like to be able to do things like hem pants/dresses and make things like pillow covers and curtains
