Greetings all,
I have a question for everyone. I have been wanting a machine
that does embroidery for yearsss. It now seems that this will
become a reality. After looking at soooo many I'm confused (not
that it takes much to do that) and can't make up my mind. My
question is this in your opinion which one do you "feel" is best
and why you feel this way? You can either answer on the list or to
me privately.
You don't buy an embroidery machine, you buy a sewing machine dealer.
You don't buy an embroidery machine, you buy digitizing software.
Seriously. You're talking about a very powerful machine that can do a
lot of things and that can cost more than I've paid for most of my cars.
It is worth buying from a dealership with good classes. You'll want
the classes so you can learn the full range of techniques available
to you. Otherwise you're buying a really expensive machine that you
will barely know how to use.
It is worth doing a serious evaluation of the digitizing software.
It's how you tell the machine to do what it does. Many of the
"stitches" and embroidery techniques aren't in the machine. The
machine just moves a hoop around and drops the needle; the digitizing
software defines the fill stitches, the satin stitches, everything.
That all said, when I finally buy an embroidery machine, I'm getting
a Husqvarna Designer SE. I've got a good local dealer I trust.
Husqvarna has the most sophisticated software on the market right
now. It's simply the most flexible home embroidery machine on the
market.
