I Need Your Sewing Expertise!

Hi crafters.  I'm coming to you today with a few questions about sewing.  

First let me say HI *waves* to all my new followers.  The Easter Blog Hop is still in effect until Saturday (4/16) at 7am, so if you have not yet left a comment, do so here, so you can be entered for the blog candy giveaway.

Anyway, back to the topic.  I have an idea for a really cute & fun Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday party invitation, but I need a sewing machine and I need to learn how to sew... lol.  My mom knows how to sew (she makes curtains, etc.), so maybe a lesson with her 1 day will help (along with watching YT videos).

But my questions are: 

1.  Is it better to use a regular sewing machine or one specifically designed for sewing paper?

2.  Is there an affordable machine ($40 or less) that works well and will last?

3.  Do you sew?  If so, what tips can you give a newbie.

I guess that's it for now.  I hope you all are having a wonderful week.  As for me?  I have ONE PAGE LEFT to scrap for my 1st Ever Mini Album!!!!  I can't WAIT to finish.  I need to print 1 photo of us (when I was pregnant) and then I'm done!!  That video is going to be about 30 minutes long because I have 20 pages to go through... (long story) and a lot to talk about.  LOL.  I also have to edit that bunny treat bag video.  I promise to have it done this week just in time for you to make them this Easter!!

Take care and thanks a bunch in advance for any info you can share.
