For you experienced embroidery designers, which would be your top four brands you recommend for embroidery? There so many out there and I am sure if I asked a salesman they would tell me theirs is the best, etc, etc. I am looking to hear from you experienced embroidery designers.

Thanks

One thing to check to determine the quality of a particular brand is the resale value of a machine after ten years. You want to purchase a machine that can run 8 hours + daily if you plan to use it for a business.

I have a Tajima from 2002 that runs great. The only repair its had is a slightly bent picker. Its a workhorse!

I was looking at the SWF website earlier.

Not sure which SWF site you were looking at or what they are selling now, in the past their machines were made by SunStar in Korea... I have one, I would not buy another.

If you are referring to ColDesi in Florida, they changed their name, they used to be SWF East. They are who I purchased my SWF machine, Embroidery Office Software and garment printer from. As far as I am concerned, they are zero for three.

For what it is worth Disneyland Resort is putting in all new single head embroidery machines in the stores for customization of garments.

SWF did have financial problems in the past but they seem to be back in business. I would put them at 2nd tier though behind those already mentioned except the Highland. I would put them 3rd tier. I don't know about Advance.

Here is the link to SWF as far as I know today. Stitch It International - New and Used Embroidery Machines and Equipment

For those of you already in the embroidery industry, would you reccommend we get a 7 needle machine or go with a 15 needle machine?

The price difference between Happy and Barudan are really extreme. Tajima has not contacted us yet so we will see what they have as far as machines and prices go.
