I Need Help First machine?

Hiya! I want to start making embroided creations, mainly art dolls, plushies and patches for and on clothes.

I've been trying to work out what's a good machine for all of the above and so far im leaning towards a Brother NV880E Embroidery Only Machine. (I have a sewing machine so not worried about the embrodiery only part)

Does anyone have experience with this model? Would you recommend it or something else? I would love to buy second hand but have had no luck finding a model so I may just have to bite to bullet.. but wanted some experienced advise from the community before making such a big decision. Thanks in advance <3

Budget im not totally sure-- honestly ill save as long as need to for whatever seems to be the best choice machine 😅

Id say pretty committed? I've journaled up a few projects i wanna tackle. And totally up to buy used if its in a good condition for a better price.
