What do i look for in a good embroidery machine ?
I am just opening my first home business, doing childrens clothing, and would like to get a sewing machine with embroidery options (LOTS and LOTS of ebroidery options)
i dont know what to look for,
or how it works (are you just stuck wiht what you purchase ? or is there a machine that allows you to buy extra embroidery programs to use ?? [kind of like a cricut machine products..])
What exactly do you mean when you say .pes formats, what are the other types of formats, and how does this one compare to the others ??
and is there a way to create your OWN embroidery patterns ??
i am looking for something that i can get a WIDE variety of fonts.. any pointers ??
EDITED TO ADD:
Embroidery designs are formatted and there are several formats (think of it as a language).
Each brand of embroidery machine has a format and this can vary by brand.
Formats can be converted, so if you have a machine that reads only .pes and you see a design that you love and it is .hus, it can be converted to .pes using conversion software, for which you can find free downloads. Pulse Ambassador is one that I have used.
There is software with which you can edit designs and create your own. Embird is a popular brand. Most have a trial which you can test to see how user friendly it is and if it is what you wish to purchase.
You may find most embroidery machines have only the basic fonts. This is something to keep in mind when shopping.
You may be able to work a deal where a font package is included with the purchase of an embroidery machine.
ORIGINAL REPLY:
All the major brands are good machines.
Brother and Babylock use the .pes format, which is a very popular, easy to find embroidery format. These machines are also very user friendly.
Visit dealers with your wish list, this should include price.
Once you tell them you want the machine for a home business, they will let you know if the machine's warranty covers this type of use.
It would be best to have a sewing machine and an embroidery machine and not just one machine.
The stitching area for embroidery is limited and will be indicated by the hoop size. The standard 4 x 4 hoop is very limiting.
Any design larger than the stitching area of the embroidery will require software for editing and splitting the designs into smaller segments that will require re-hooping for each section.
An embroidery machine with at least a 5 x 7 hoop is a better choice.
There are thousands of designs available on the Internet, many are free. A machine with a flash drive (aka, stick drive or thumb drive) would be the most convenient method of getting designs from the PC to the embroidery machine.
Create a folder on the hard drive of your PC and name it Embroidery. As you download, save to this folder and then create sub-folders for each category. Keeping the designs organized will save you a lot of headache later on.
This is a very good site for machine embroidery tips and techniques - http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/elprojects/holder.aspx?page=techniques
Keep in mind, Disney and other licensed designs cannot be use on items that you will be selling.
Best wishes in your new adventure!
