Okay, I did try to find my answer myself, but that didn't work... the only thing I see are problems and more problems with the machine. But I know many of you must like the machine, because otherwise not all planners-babes would use them.

My question is... which one do you advice to me? Curio, Cameo or silhouette.
The things I would really like to do with it are:
-making flock T-shirts
-making sacs with nice drawings on it (can be printed with printer, but cutting should be automatically and then Ironing I would have to do myself I guess ;-) )
- I want to print and cut those cute stickers for my new planner

so drawing and rhinestones would be nice, but don't think I'll be the person making lot of use of them.
I live in Belgium so normal size paper is A4 here, which I believe can go in the curio, don't know about the portrait.
I don't think I would cut 12inch paper very much or is buying the big paper cheaper than the little one?

prices for the machinery go from 190 to 290 somewhat.

Thank you all for helping me out!
 
A4 fits fine in the Portrait. That is what I have and I'm in Europe as well.
The Curio does things like embossing and such that you don't mention wanting to do.
The Portrait and Cameo can both do all the things you mention and the only difference is width.
It seems to me the Portrait would be fine for you and it's the cheapest one. Almost everything I do (which is almost the same list you gave above!) is print and cut, and I print on A4 so I have never wanted the wider Cameo. IMO the Cameo is only worth it if you will be buying pretty paper supplies rather than printing your own, as the pre-made stuff is quite often 12x12.

Thank you Lorryfach! That would save me a lot of euro's! I really have to come to Denmark some day! My husband filmed their a lot of years ago and wanted to go back eversince... Denmark, Norway and Sweden! I want to wait with it till the kids are older and my wheelchair isn't necessary for me anymore. Now we Always go to Italy (which is impossible to do with wheelchairs I know ;-) )
 
I would love to go to Belgium! We flew through last year but never left the airport, so it doesn't count. Although we did get a mini Belgian cookie on the flight that was tasty. ;) One day!
