Re: Need opinion for commercial embroidery machine
welcome to the world of choices
seriously welcome to the other end
we have a toyota 9000 and it has been great for us
its the same as the tajima neo some minor changes
needle sequence and electronics
any of those are good in my opinion
check for good customer service and dealer close to
you if not then go with price and extras
good luck

Re: Need opinion for commercial embroidery machine
The brand of machine is not nearly as important as training and tech support.
All are good machines but not worth much at all if you don't have the training and tech support that is needed, especially for a new user.

If you're located in a place where there's a lot of foot traffic, the machine will surely get noticed and you'll hear some wows and ohhs.
As for the machine choice, I started with a Tajima NEO so that gets my vote, but I agree that it's better to get a branded machine from a supplier who can provide you with reliable support and training.
Re: Need opinion for commercial embroidery machine
I like the LCD for starting and helping to understand and see how things work. Now I would'nt be opposed to a non-LCD machine but I would prefer it.
Also don't rule out looking at the Baruden machines.
Re: Need opinion for commercial embroidery machine
We had recently bought SWF 1501 T.. we had 4 days of training here in Tampa. We were green green before getting the machine and honestly we love it. We are still learning and 9 out 10 times we do something wrong we can fix it on our own.
