Most people that count sewing as a hobby begin with fairly basic equipment. A standard sewing machine, as well as a serger, might be part of the toolkit. However, as skills increase, so does the desire for a fuller-functioning variety of machines. At this point, it’s very common for a seamstress to purchase her first embroidery machine. This can open up a whole new can of worms, as the decision is made what type is best and how much should be budgeted. Here are the major considerations for choosing between a professional or home embroidery machine.
Level of Use
The first thing that you will need to look at is how often you plan on using your embroidery machine. Home models are designed to hold up to an hour or two of sewing on a daily basis. For those that plan to use their embroidery machine for business use, such as a cottage sewing business, you will need to look at this factor more closely. Excessive use may void the warranty of a home machine, but it still may do the job just fine and at a significant savings. Just be prepared with a contingency plan, if this situation applies.
Price
After determining how you plan to use the embroidery machine, price will be the biggest single factor that will make the choice between a professional or home model. Home embroidery machines may be found that start in the $300 range. This is ideal for those that plan on using basic functions of the machine, on a limited basis. Higher-end home embroidery machines may run as high as $5,000 or more. In comparison, commercial machines begin in this price range. This is the price range where you will probably waffle the most between a commercial or home model.
Features
Features will be what makes up most final decisions about which type of machine to purchase. If you are already planning on purchasing a full-functioning machine and have $5,000 or more to spend, then look closely at what each machine has to offer. For example, home machines will need to have each thread color changed manually, while many commercial machines load all colors at once. However, home models may have better design editing capabilities, while commercial models need an integrated computer to make such changes. Determine which competing features are most important to make the final call.
