      There are many terrific embroidery machines on the market. The trick is to find one in your budget that will meet your needs for many years to come.
      Embroidery is a fun hobby and even if you are a beginner, you might find that you will quickly outgrow a beginner embroidery machine.
      So, the first step is to determine your needs. Are you a person who sews a great deal? Have you ever sewn before or has it been many years since you have tried to sew or embroider?

      There is a learning curve in using an embroidery machine. You have to decide if you are willing to put in the time to become skilled at embroidery. If you already sew a little then you will be able to learn how to use the embroidery machine quickly.

      Determine your budget. How much are you willing to spend? Be aware that the fancy embroidery and sewing machine combo's are very expensive. They costs thousands of dollars.
      You need to figure out whether you need just an embroidery machine or a combination sewing and embroidery machine. I own a combination sewing and embroidery machine by brother. It is a beginner model and I love it. It was affordable and came with ped basic which is software and hardware that allows you to download and use the many free embroidery designs available on the internet.
      I would highly recommend purchasing an embroidery machine with the software added in as a bonus item. You will definitely want it at some point.

      Finally, remember to purchase from a reliable source that offers a warranty on the embroidery machine. Always buy the best machine you can afford. If you are truly a beginner and haven't sewn in years than buy a beginner's model. You can always trade it in for a more expensive model.

      Don't forget to take advantage of any lessons that come with the purchase of your new sewing/embroidery machine.
      Walmart has excellent prices on the beginning embroidery machines. No lessons are included so read the manual. If you want lessons, purchase the machine from a sewing machine dealer. Please check the resource box below this article. I have put a link to the brother embroidery machines up for sale on ebay. Ebay is a great place to check out prices for the used machines. If you purchase from ebay and they do not offer a warranty, than purchase a warranty from Square Trade. They offer excellent warranties at a bargain price. I have purchased two warranties from Square Trade already. The link to Square Trade is also in the resource box below this article.
      Have fun and enjoy all the beautiful designs.

Tips & Warnings

  • Remember to purchase from a reputable source

  • Don't forget the warranty

  • Save all manuals and the box with the packing materials in case you have to send the machine in for repairs.

  • take your time researching the various models available and compare features
