Need some advice

Im wanting to have a embroidery machine by then end of feb and want to know what should i look for in one (i know i need one that do hats). Im also wanting a heat press OR a screen printed machine but cant decide what i want. I like quality which makes me want to buy the screen printed machine but i cant afford it. I may have to buy the heat press machine because of finaicial reasons but i dont like low quality stuff. Can any help me out???????

Let me know what you find out and I too am having the same dilemma. I am only wanting to use the two things for charity in my small town of 1600. I am starting to think I am not smart enough to make these kind of choices. amy
