Which is the best brand of embroidery machine to buy?

We would recommend Tajima, Barudan, Toyota, SWF and Melco.

But first of all you have to tell us what you are looking to do, and your budget. Of course, the best machines are more expensive. Melco, SWF and Toyota are on the more inexpensive end, and you can find one head--and up to 4 head--Melco and SWF machines in the $4000-$7000 range.

As for the Tajima and Barudan you can find them in the $5000-$8000 range, with software and everything.

Tajima is by far the best, as many of our customers have stated in one of the polls we have in our blogs. Click here to find some prices on Tajima machines.

If you are going to do any type of embroidery (ie. caps, polos, flags, jackets), the best option is a Tajima machine or a flat head machine, as the Melco, SWF or Toyota machines. Or the Barudan machines that came after 1995.

If you are doing flat garments (ie. polos, flags, jackets), Tajima and Barudan are the best because of the large sewing area and the quality of the embroidery.
