This was a response to someone who's going through the virgin anticipation problem, same as I am right now.

I just bid on a machine on ebay. Unabashed fun (and learning) awaits.

If you're buying used you may want to have it serviced when it arrives. They all need servicing now and then, and the technician can probably tell you how hard a life its lived.

Oh, and enjoy.

You can get basic Singer machines at Shopko this month for $50. Probably perfect for beginners.

Craigslist is also a great resource if you have it in your area.
