A 25 year old machine that hasn't been used definitely needs servicing. The oil & grease inside has very likely hardened and causes limited range of motion. On the other hand, a $200 budget for a new machine won't get you anything but trash, unless you find a used machine. There are tons of sewing machines listed on Facebook, OfferUp, Craigslist, etc. Here is a Brother on Amazon for under $200. I would NOT buy a Singer as those haven't been good since 1980's The vintage Singers so many have are not the same as the new ones. Brother X2701 machine

I would just buy a brother off Amazon! I don’t think it needs to be complicated and I would not go to a dealer for a first machine. For me that would’ve been so incredibly overwhelming and confusing. I’ve had my brother for 6 years and it is only now I’m beginning to see limitations and it’s only because I am such a rabid sewer. It’s been user friendly enough for me to easily get into and fall in love with the hobby. I can sew anything on it— all the things you’re mentioning and it has never crapped out Trust me just buy this and save yourself the back and forth and indecision!!!
