A beginner only needs two stitches - straight stitch and zigzag. Also they need a *free arm*.
I'd recommend getting a secondhand machine as the older ones from last century are simply better made and you'll only pay a fraction of the price of a new one. Try charity shops, or sewing machine repairers often have reconditioned machines.
You can see manuals for old machines on the net.
If an old machine is stiff, oil it!
A machine needs a bit of weight. Plastic cheapies just bounce all over the table while youre sewing.
Good luck!
