Why we picked it
Planning to buy your first embroidery machine, or wondering whether you have outgrown the one you have? Hope Yoder walks through the options, from single-needle flatbeds to commercial free-arm machines, what extra needles and heads mean in practice, and how to estimate what each setup can earn per hour before you spend. Listen before you start shopping, and have a notepad ready for the numbers.
