Query: A good machine for a beginner

I am an absolute beginner...meaning, I know what a sewing machine looks like, but I never actually touched one. I read all the reviews on all the different Brother sewing machines available. I even called Brother directly to ask them which sewing machine they would recommend for a beginner. This was their pick. I have to admit, at first I was ready to throw the thing threw the window. The instructions are not for a beginner...I agree with some of the other reviewers...alot of the instructions are very incomplete. I actually took my machine to a sewing machine shop and took an hour lesson on how to use it! They helped alot. I am no longer afraid of it. I think it will be a very useful machine once I master it. I have already taken 1 class and plan to take more. A very good buy for the money. Even the seamstress who gave me the lesson said she would absolutely recommend this machine!
