To embroider or not to embroider?

I had planned on getting an embroidery machine when I got to Japan, but I’m not sure I can justify it, they’re pretty much just as expensive as at home. The sewing machines on the other hand are quite reasonable compared to home and there are quite a lot more to choose from. So I am thinking of opting for a sewing machine, because I miss mine like crazy! And because an embroidery machine is such a serious piece of equipment I think it should be more of a long term investment, something I get back home that I don’t need to ship back when it might get damaged in the process!
