Help in starting

I have never been behind an embroidery machine before, I used to sew when I was about 10, some 25 years ago. I am looking into learning how to embroider so I can start my own garage business sometime down the line. I am in the military now so I cant put the hours into starting a business that it needs. Can you suggest a good starting machine to learn on, and what is a good start up price to get everything I need to start learning how to do this?
