Best Embroidery Machine of 2024

1 comment

If you’re looking at buying an embroidery machine, you’re probably considering all of the different embroidery machines on the market and wondering what machine is the right machine for you and your projects. It can be overwhelming, of course, but we’re here to help you weed through all of the different options and really find the machine that fits your sewing needs and your lifestyle.

You’ll want to consider a few things before you make a purchase. You should know your budget, how often you’ll use it, the amount of space you have for a machine, and what features you need to complete the types of projects you make.

Not all embroidery machines are built the same. They might look incredibly similar but depending on the designs that are already programmed in and what other features are built into the machine, they can be very different. It all depends on your needs from the machine itself.

Let’s get into it!


 

Best Embroidery Machine

Brother Innov-is V3 LE Embroidery Machine

The Brother Innov-is V3 LE Embroidery Machine is a domestic embroidery machine (meaning it’s not specifically meant for business/isn’t industrial grade) that gets the job done and done well! This single needle machine has a large embroidery field so that you can create large designs, unlike a lot of other domestic embroidery machines. Brother embroidery machines are well respected. This machine also features an independent bobbin winder so that you can wind bobbins as the machine embroiders! That way you can always have your next bobbin ready to go when you need to change them out!

+ Independent bobbin winder
+ USB Port and computer hook up to download extra patterns
+ Large embroidery space for a domestic machine

- Single needle - you can only have one colour threaded at a time.

Brother PR1055x Embroidery Machine

This industrial, multi needle, embroidery machine is meant for the pros! If you’re running a sewing or embroidery business, this is absolutely the right machine for you! The PR1055X has 10 needles, space for an extra-large embroidery hoop (200x360mm), stitches efficiently, and allows you to monitor it from another room through the use of a tablet or your phone.

+ Can thread up to 10 needles with 10 different colours at once
+ Wifi enabled - you can track your progress from another room
+ On screen editing via LCD touchscreen

Best Budget Embroidery Machine

 

Brother NV880E Embroidery Machine

It might be a little obvious from this list that we really adore Brother embroidery machines, including the Innov-is 880E! It’s inexpensive but sews like a dream! This machine has a laser pointer so that you can make sure your design is placed perfectly on the fabric every time. While it’s a little more expensive than the NV F440E, it still won’t break the bank at under £1,600. It’s also a little bigger, too, but that means you’ll have a larger embroidery field to work with.



+ Large touch screen perfect for editing
+ Laser pointer - for accurate loading
+ 3 Hoops included

- Large machine footprint

Brother Innov-is F540E Embroidery Machine

You can edit any of the built-in designs right on the screen, and easily download new designs from the internet to expand your personal embroidery design library. Can't forget the automatic thread cutter and needle up/down button meaning this machine is easy to use.
