  • Entry Level Embroidery machine & Software wanted

    Posted by Mark Newman on 27 February 2017 at 10:41

    Hi i am looking for a small ish embroidery machine for logo’s and text, to add to my business.
    I have around £1000 in total saved to spend, so i am not looking for the latest trade machine.
    It’s a starter machine, to get me going, if it becomes fruitful i will invest later down the line.
    I will also need my own digitising software, as that can incur high costs.

    Have looked on *Bay at some, but not knowing what i’m looking at i thought best to ask here first.
    Keen to get started on the embroidery front, as t-shirt printing is going very well for me.

    thank you

    Hi Mark,

    I have PE Design Next up for sale for 250.00 on gumtree, that will do all you need for logos etc

    Upgraded to Wilcom at about 1500.00

    Not sure on machines, I know Daniel Evans on here had one for sale a while ago

    Thanks,
    That may be useful. Need to source a machine ideally before commuting to buy that though

    design lus is really basic, you will not be able to do what you want to on that

    I have PE DEsign Next, used its about 400.00 as its 999.00 new
    There are lots of upgrades out there too, you do not want these

    I thought design plus was the better one?

    pe design 10 is the latest, pe design next was the one before.
    If you want to digitise you need design next

    don’t waste your money on a 50.00 version
