Need Advice ASAP

878 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  ThreeKingsDesign,

I've narrowed down my machine purchase to two options:

Toyota ESP 9000 15 needle or 2008 Melco Amaya XT

My biz partner's concern with the Melco is the need for an operating system to run the machine and the size. My concern with the Toyota is the age of the machine.

I'm expanding my business to include embroidery.

If you had to do all over again, and these machines were your choice; which would you choose and why?

Thank you in advance!! :)

No personal experience with either so I don't want to comment to advise.

I looked into them when I purchased my machines, but went Brother all the way as I wanted the sewing area. I digress.

Looks like someone else had the same exact choice you did a bit ago on here!

Between the two you have mentioned the Toyota 9100 is by far the better machine they are a work horse there stitch quality is by far still among the top on the market. The older versions are still a highly sort after machine the 9100 was the last of the toyotas but you shouldn't have many issues with it. In general terms of brands you have ZSK first then barudan then tajima then happy/swf/melco/ricoma then the rest of the chinese made

Thank you to all. We went with the Toyota 9100 and are very excited to begin our latest endeavor!
