Purchasing a new sewing machine

what sewing machine should i get?
I currently have a singer my grandmother got for me second hand and its been eating ny fabric.

I’m looking for something close to or less than $300

I’m trying to get into sewing clothes for myself, and i’m not a total beginner, but it has been a while since i’ve sewn much
i tried to sew a shirt the other day and while it worked more or less, my machine got jammed a ton and i had to rethread every-time i turned around.

I’ve currently got the Brother XR9550 Sewing & Quilting machine in my cart to purchase- is this a good choice?

I also want to potentially hem thick fabrics like jeans and have seen that “heavy duty machines” doesnt really mean anything, and as long as i have the correct tools & needles it should be fine
And I’d like to sew thin slippery fabrics potentially too…

any suggestions?
