Embroidery

There are a number of different embroidery machines prevailing in the market to choose from for home use. Each machine is equipped with special features to suit different segments so before purchasing any machine, make sure to check your requirements and for what purpose you want this machine. You need to consider few factors while choosing a home embroidery sewing machine that will help you design beautiful pieces.

First of all, it is important to check whether you want a machine that can only embroider or can sew also. The embroidery only machines are not capable of standard stitches but are capable to embellish a garment. So if you need a machine that can stitch also, embroidery only machine is not a right choice for you. For that, combination machines are perfect as they can both sew and embroider. These machines are featured with all the basic stitches to design quilts, beautiful garments and other projects. Plus, these machines have separate embroidery units which you can attach when you need to embroider. If you want to upgrade your sewing machine, a combination machine is all you need when the space is limited and you want to get rid of the hassle of operating two machines.

The embroidery machine must be easy to use. Make sure to check the buttons and control screen, the way of selecting fonts, borders and designs, process for stitching a design, and if it is easy to import more designs. Additionally, whatever machine you choose should have automatic thread cutting to make it easier while stitching. Next comes the field size or frame size which is the largest area the machine can stitch in one go. Most designs are available for the standard 4×4 inch size whereas some need a 5×7 larger field. So it is essential to think about the types of garments you want to embroider in order to choose the field size. Getting a machine with larger embroidery field size is possible when you spend a higher price.

Sooner or later you will realize that you have spent unnecessary bucks on a machine that you don’t even need. So it would be better to make a budget beforehand and buy the machine that you actually require. Since embroidery machines cost somewhere around 500 dollars to thousands, your wrong decision will land you in money wastage. Other than that, it is also mandatory to check if the extra accessories are easily accessible.
