Default Re: Looking to buy an embroidery machine NEED HELP PLEASE!!

I don't see how you would be able to hoop the front of a cap with the Ellegante-2. The advertisement says it will embroider up to 7 by 11.75 inch designs, I just don't see how you would fit a jacket but I suppose anything is possible. I doubt it would be easy...

I had a smaller Ellageo for a few months and we only used it for very small, simple one color designs, mostly lace ornaments. It was too much of a pain to change colors constantly. We traded it on on another PR-600.

Your best bet is to go to a dealer and see the machines in person. Take a cap with you and ask them to show you how to embroider it... The store we bought our machines from had both and quickly talked me out of the smaller machine when it came to hats and multi-color designs. In retrospect, going with the bigger machine was one of the best decisions we made.
