sewing machine/iPod carryall.

i had a small question. i've been looking at buying a sewing machine. me and my mom actually. what features should i hold out for on my machine. this will probably be a machine i will use forever and will probably cost around 300-350. right now, i have ZERO sewing experience. my mom said she talked to the lady at joanns i think and they said their machines come with free lessons for life. so that's a plus. i know sears offers a few lessons, but as far as the machine itself, what should i be looking for?

thanks, girls! :)
