In this video, we go in-depth to discuss some of the major points to consider before taking the plunge and buying your first embroidery machine.

We outline several financial tips to keep in mind, and how to think about your budgetary needs in the present and future so you can make the best decision for yourself and your wallet.

We'll also explain one of the most important factors when buying an embroidery machine: that it’s not so much the machine itself but what comes with it. Many companies try to sell you on a machine that requires you to buy a lot of expensive add-ons just to do your everyday work, so it’s crucial to find a machine that comes with an all-inclusive package.
