How much is an embroidery circuit board? Where can I buy them?

Well... you better keep that damaged board!

As a matter of fact, the most expensive part of your embroidery machine is that box with the 'electronic board'. Most people in the embroidery business would tell you the same: 'the electronic boards are more expensive--in some cases--than the embroidery machine itself!'.

And it is true, so that is why the wise thing to do is to keep the damaged or burned electronic board and have it repaired at places like PLR Electronics (www.plrelectronics.com).

If you bought an embroidery machine without electronic boards, you lost your money; and if you want to buy new electronic boards you are probably going to spend a lot (around $3,000 per board).

There is another choice too: to buy refurbished electronic boards, but the prices aren't that cheap either. Here you can find some refurbished electronic boards, www.embaccess.com

What is the price of a single head embroidery machine?

The price of a single head used embroidery machine is usually below the $10,000 mark.

$12k -15k for a machine is more towards a multi-head embroidery machine than a portable embroidery machine. However, for that amount you could almost get 2 single heads.

You can find many machines in that price range ($2000 to $8000) by clicking here. You will be able to find great machines like the Tajima 1501 or the Melco Amaya for under $10,000.

And if you are looking for a portable 1 head embroidery machine, the best options are the Toyota embroidery machines or the Tajima Neo machines.
