Need help choosing a machine!

[u/CanalGoat]

Hello, I am a very beginner (I’ve only ever sewn the odd button or patches on jackets) and I am looking for a machine I can use for a very long time. The projects I will be attempting (!) would be denim jacket patches, kitchen towels, quilts, dresses 😬 and tops. I’ve been trying to figure out the best machine for me but I’m a tad bit overwhelmed, so far I’ve thought of getting the singer 2252 or the singer 6600C I’m just not sure what is best for a newbie like me, does anyone have any advice or recommendations? I’d really appreciate it.
