Embroidery machines are similar to sewing machines except they create simple or intricate patterns on materials. Companies will often use embroidery machines to embroider the company name or logo on clothing, gifts and other products to advertise in the community.
Several companies make embroidery machines including Babylock, Bernina, Singer and Brother. These can be found at sewing and craft stores as well as through the vendor. Less expensive options can be purchased from stores like Wal-Mart and Sears and online from websites like Amazon.com. Companies looking into using embroidery machines will find that there are two different types: free-motion and computerized. Free-motion machines create the designs through zigzag sewing. They have very few features and are mostly used for tailoring projects. A computerized machine is more specialized and includes a system that holds the material tight under the needle. Designs are preprogrammed into the machine, and, with a switch of a button, the machine automatically begins creating the design on the fabric.
Purchasing embroidery machines is not cost effective for many companies. A better option is to find an outside source for embroidery projects. Fees will be involved for the embroidery, but those who do not have many projects for embroidery machines may find it is a better route.
