Embroidery Machine Designs Will Enhance Your Sewing Hobby

By Ryan Lee


Different decorative designs can be made by machines. There are monogram or pictorial designs that are used by those who are decorating items. The different purposes used determine which machine you need. Monogram machines differ from those for embroidery purposes. Machines for decorating for friends and family differ from those used for a home business. This means you have to choose what fits your needs for embroidery machine designs.

The most important decision to make in choosing a machine is whether you plan to have a business or just use it for personal use. The next decision is whether you just want to do monogramming or if you will also want to embroider designs. The whole plan depends on what type of work you plan on doing and how much you will be doing. Everything depends on your plans.

Machines will do one or all of the three functions, based on the price. They will sew, monogram, or embroidery, or do all of them. The ones that do more cost the most. The cost of a machine is also based in part on the quality of it. If funds are limited, you will need to choose between sturdiness or stuff such as number of stitches and extras provided. It is best to buy the sturdy one first, then add extras as funds become available. The sturdier ones will last longer.

Another thing that affects the cost of a machine is the number of decorative stitches. Though some have a very high number of stitches, upon closer examination it is obvious that there is very little variation between the stitches, meaning they are not really different stitches. One with fewer stitches, but more variation, may be the better buy in the long run.

Built-in stitches vary up to a high of 67 to 136. But most have the ability to import from your computer or from you card slot a huge number of additional stitches. Both sewing machine stitches and embroidery stitches are a premium design feature. The larger design screens let you view the design in a size that you can fully see the design. Screen sizes vary.

Design frame specialties are another important detail in selection. Being able to edit the work allows one to have an almost endless variation of designs. Most have a LCD screen to preview the design. There are touch screens and stable screens. Not all can be edited, however. The workspace is also a point in deciding. The larger the screen, the better. Screens vary between 4x4 and 5x7. The larger screen is preferable.

The workspace is expanded by hoops similar to those used in hand stitching. The size of the workspace and the size of the design that can be done varies with the numbers of hoops included. These hoops are like those used in hand stitching. The screen setting varies the mode of operation, such as normal, memory, or embroidery.

Design editing includes such actions as rotating, adjusting the size, and mirror-imaging. Starting packages also vary by machine, and impact the overall cost of the package, including the machine. Extras like rolling carry bags can increase the value. Most machines include the same starting packages, but some include the extras to increase the value of their package.
