![]() We discussed the newest Melco, the EMT16. The salesman seemed knowledgeable about his product, friendly, and eager to assist. I will not mention any salesman names though. Here are the results of the conversations with each salesman, in the order that I spoke to them. She will probably operate the machine for a few weeks to a month before we schedule the live training so that she really dig in when the trainer is there. My wife can figure out anything watching you-tube. I am south of Atlanta, GA and I want close technicians and trainers as well as plenty of access to training, live and/or video. I had considered pre-owned, but decided that for the first machine, I wanted brand new with all of the warranty intact, and the latest in technology. ![]() After much reading and pulling out of my hair, I narrowed the choices down to 4 brands (Barudan, Melco, SWF, and Tajima). That way if the business failed, she would at least be able to have really good equipment for her hobby or I would have a shot as recouping some of the initial investment. Being an experienced businessman myself, I decided that if my wife was getting anything, it would be the right tool for the job, and possibly even overkill. ![]() I just had no idea how expensive the equipment was. Not that there is anything wrong with it. My wife was set on a Brother 10 needle, but when I saw the price I could only laugh. When I started the search, I only knew that we wanted a multi-needle unit. That way other readers may be able to benefit. This will be a long post thread because I also want to explain my interaction with the salesman that I spoke with as well as my gut feelings on each one. What I am looking for now are opinions from experienced embroiderers and preferably ones that have experience with at least 2 of the brands that I am considering. I have read as many good posts as bad posts concerning most machines. Embroidery machines seem to be an entirely different story. Reviews and forum posts generally pointed very strongly in one direction. ![]() The choices for sublimation equipment, vinyl cutters, heat presses, and the like were fairly straightforward. She is also going to do sublimation, vinyl, etc. This is my first post, although I have been reading here for a while.
