One point a day keeps boredom away. Step up your embroidery game with an embroidery machine. Embroidery machines open up a whole new world of possibilities beyond hand embroidery designs. Many embroidery machines are computerized and use an LCD screen for stitch and design selection, allowing you to customize textiles with the click of a button. With such a range of machines available, it’s important that you know what you’re getting before you choose. Browse our selection of the best options below.
1. Brother PE535 Embroidery Machine
Offering excellent performance at a great price, this reliable machine is ideal for small projects. It features a 4″ x 4″ sewing area that is surrounded by a hoop to isolate your work and help you better visualize the final product. The 80 built-in designs give you a great library to work with, and the USB port lets you download and add more designs to its on-board memory. Other goodies include an automatic needle threader, a good-sized and responsive LCD color touchscreen, and nine fonts. Jump resistant and intuitive to use, this machine is a winner for beginners and pros alike.
2. Singer Legacy SE300 Embroidery Machine
Singer’s machine, which can also be used as an ordinary sewing machine. It has a sewing field that measures 10 ¼ by 6 inches and can sew 700 embroidery stitches per minute. It comes with 200 awesome embroidery designs, but you can only view them by downloading them to a PC (Mac users, beware!). We also find that it has a greater tendency to jam than our top pick, but that’s likely to happen less as you get more familiar with the nitty-gritty of this machine. It comes with an automatic needle threader and two embroidery hoops of different sizes, and offers 250 built-in stitches, including basic, stretch, decorative and buttonhole stitches.
3. Brother SE1900 Sewing and Embroidery Machine
Another combo machine, this offering from Brother excels in both sewing and embroidery. It has a large LCD touch screen and a 5 x 7 inch embroidery area as well as 138 built-in designs. It runs quietly, sews steadily and is easy to program. As a bonus, this machine comes with 10 built-in styles of one-step buttonholes, and you can even create your own custom stitches and save them to the machine’s memory. With free-motion sewing and drop-feed quilting, this machine does it all. An automatic needle threader and LED light round out the specialist features, and the machine comes complete with a range of necessary sewing accessories.
4. Uten Handheld Embroidery Sewing Machine
If you’re new to embroidering and aren’t sure if you’re ready to invest in a high-end machine, Uten’s model might be the right choice for you. It’s relatively inexpensive for an embroidery machine and is also portable, making it easy to carry with you if you’re taking a class. Although you cannot load embroidery files into it, as it does not have a USB drive, it is very easy to use for free-motion embroidery and can also sew 100 letter stitches. The machine is stable and the needle does not jump, moving smoothly and precisely. Like the other options on our list, it has an automatic needle threader to get you started quickly.
