starter sewing machine?

[luxveritas.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone, just found this community last night :) I've just recently gotten into sewing and also crocheting(though not very well haha) and I'm looking for a sewing machine. I'm looking for something that I can start with, meaning I don't want to spend a ton of money on a really good machine when I'm just beginning. So any tips would be greatly appreciated. I hope to be able to post some pictures of the crafty things I will be making soon! Thanks.
