LONG: sewing machines $$$?

sewing machines?sergers?

I'm looking to buy a sewing machine, and I'm not sure what kind to buy. I plan on using it often, using all types of materials. I want it to last a long time and preferably have a warranty of some kind. I also want to spend the least amount of money possible. Any suggestiosns? (I'd rather not buy online, but if there's a great deal I'd do it)

My machine has served me well for nearly 4 years; I bought the bottom-of-the-line model at WalMart. It's a Brother. It goes forward, back, straight, and zigzag, which is all I really ever use anyway. I had a fancier machine for awhile (had to leave it when I moved) but I honestly used the fancy parts so rarely that I don't miss them. I make most of my own clothes and run (and work in) the costume department for summer theatre in the theatre company I'm with. I've been sewing for over 20 years, and do well enough with it. I'd say go for a simple machine. There's less to break down, and you can easily learn to do the simple servicing yourself -- if you have a simple machine. Keep it cleaned and oiled, and it'll serve you many years. Mine came with a 25-year warranty on the mechanical parts.
