How to Choose a Professional Embroidery Machine?
Selecting the appropriate professional embroidery machine is vital to start your own new business, or to develop it further. You need to consider many things before buying a professional embroidery machine because the professional ones are specifically made for business purposes and the home ones are specifically for usage in the comforts of our homes. The right machine will have a big significance towards your business, so keep in mind to purchase the finest one.
-
The Best Brand
Yes, it all depends on the goodness of the brand itself. To search for the most top quality brands, seek the help of the internet; concentrate on the customer reviews regarding a brand, look at the customer satisfaction ratings or different websites, which have particular reviews on a certain brand. Brands with the happiest customers will surely be the right platform for you.
-
Your Usage
You have to consider whether your machine will be for home or professional usage, because both of these are dissimilar to each other. A professional machine should be precisely made for consistent operation time and mass production.
-
Minimal Features
A machine should have the following necessary features like an automated thread cutter, a bobbin winder, and a needle threader. Without these essentials, your machine isn’t appropriate.
-
Throat Width
A throat width is the space between the body of a machine and a needle. Newer prototypes are coming with a long throat width which is necessary to give you ample space to work, to enable handling of large hoops and the quilting is done perfectly.
-
Embroidery Unit
A sewing machine with a separate embroidery unit will let you perform sewing, quilting and embroidery individually. An economical choice would be to buy a machine in which you can add extra embroidery abilities later on.
-
Availability of Hoops
The size of a hoop runs from 100 x 100 or 360 x 360 and further. If your machine has only the largest size of 100 x 100, then it can really hamper the hoop related embroidery designs or can hinder the stitching projects.
-
Additional Accessories
Check for extra accessories that come with a machine. See if they would really help you in the future and can you rely on them to make your machine more skilled in the future. A quilting table, different attachments and various presser feet will help you to achieve exceptional techniques with your machine.
-
Embroidery Designs
Often machines have built-in designs in their memory but to make use of as many designs as you like, your machine should be able to connect itself into a computer for design or stitching downloading or for loading files from the help of a thumb drive.
-
USB Portal
Floppy disks were used to export designs with a computer to an embroidery machine in the days of old machines. Data cards and magic box are used by other machines. You would require a USB port to access embroidery designs from a jump drive or directly with an aid of a USB cable attached to a computer.
-
Final Decisions
You may prefer creating your own designs to run the entire machine so, you should make sure that whether the brand lets you create your own personally designed software or not. You should also purchase a machine with a good after-sales service and a warranty.
