What embroidery machines are

First of all I would like to note that all embroidery machines are divided into two types:

  • Professional embroidery machines, as a rule,Are established exclusively at large enterprises. Machines of this type have great opportunities. Due to the fact that their work is automated from the beginning to the end, these embroidery machines are able to produce finished products in large volumes;

  • Monogram machines, for example: BABYLOCK HR 300, BROTHER PE-150, 180 or BERNINA DECO. They differ in their compactness and simplicity.
  • Sewing and embroidery systems: HUSQVARNA DESIGNER 1, 2, BERNINA ARTISTA 200, SUPER GALAXIE 3000 and many others. All of these compared to conventional embroidery machines have more opportunities. They can be not only embroidered, but also sewed.
