I want to use different fabrics and stitches for decoration and I want to be able to embroider with it and do a hem binding like for t shirts and stuff. Do I want a serger or a sewing machine? I heard that singers are crappy now that I should buy viking or beringer? I that true?

I need to replace our binding system (currently using a GBC wirebind system) and am hoping to get a comb bind – electric machine. It’s for an office of about 50 people, we bind about 50 proposals (3 – 60 pages) a week on average. Any tips would be helpful!
