Best Monogram Machines

Embroidery is a wonderful way to give a personal touch to any of the clothes and fabrics in your house. With more technology in recent years for programmable and computerized embroidery machines, you can embroider almost anything with precision and save time on hand stitching. But as technology advances, so too does the complexity of choosing the right machine. To help simplify the shopping process when looking for a new embroidery machine, we’ve put together this handy buying guide to help you make the right choice.

Computerized embroidery machines have become increasingly popular in recent years because of their technological advancements and the ease with which anyone can sew or embroider with them. Depending on what you need in your own home, there are machines available that come in different price ranges and with different added features. The two general types of embroidery machines are computerized sewing and embroidery machines, and computerized embroidery-only machines.

Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machines: Dual sewing and embroidery machines have the versatility of sewing, embroidery, and even quilting settings for home designs and mending. These computerized machines have features for programmable embroidery designs and can be connected to a computer to get the most updated designs and software.

Computerized Embroidery-only Machines: Embroidery-only machines are computerized with various embroidery designs. Embroidery machines also have USB or memory card slots for accessing customized or purchased designs online.

Based on all the consumers' reviews we've scanned, these are the top things they mentioned about their new stuff:

• Multi-purpose: Consumers enjoy the convenience of a machine that can both embroider and sew for added versatility when mending something quickly, sewing your embroidery onto another fabric, or if you want to try a sewing project instead. Reviewers put a lot of value on having one machine for all fabric projects.
• Operation: Reviewers rate computerized embroidery machines that are easy to use right out of the box the highest. These machines are especially easy for beginners to start embroidery with no trouble.
• Build: Reviewers rate higher the embroidery machines with lit LCD screens for easy viewing of designs and features while working on their projects. The LCD screens add convenience for selecting designs, orienting the fabric, and programming the machine for a new project.

• If you are just starting out with embroidery and don’t know what you might need your machine for in the future, then look for a machine that offers the most features in your price range so that you have a multipurpose machine for any future projects.
• If you plan to embroider words or names that will be larger than the 4x4 inch standard embroidery hoop size, then consider a machine that comes with a larger embroidery hoop, or you may want to buy an extra one to go with your machine.
• An embroidery machine with a USB port for connecting directly to a computer has virtually unlimited design capabilities. A machine with a memory card slot will also make downloaded patterns and designs easy to access.
