Hi everyone. A few years back, my wife and I decided we needed to start a business. We researched and determined embroidery and monogramming was a great opportunity. We order equipment and lots of stuff; then she gets pregnant. Long story short, my best estimate is that we've maybe run 100-200 garments total on these machines (EDIT: my wife says 600-1000 jobs between both machines). We're ready to cut our losses. Here's what we've got:

Two single head 12 needle Renaissance Cantare' embroidery machines (black)
Serial numbers 1520 (purchased late 2003) and 2206 (purchased in 2004-I was frustrated when trying to learn how to re-time the machine, so I ordered another one for a backup machine)
One cap attachment with 180 degree cap frame and 270 degree cap frame, One Hoop Mate hooping station, One 7 in 1 quick change, One Gator clamp base with 3 clamps, Four 5.5" square hoops, Four 11.5" square hoops, Four 12.5" x 14.5" rectangular hoops, Two 3.5" square hoops, Two 7.5" square hoops

Plus, a Dell 2.4 Ghz PC to run the machines, and Software- Great Notions 2004 Stock Design Collection (20,000 designs), Letter Pro, Monogram Master, Renaissance Software, Magellan Embroidery Software, Quick Sample, Size Pro, Pattern Fill, Corel Draw 12, DRAWings digitizing software with Modular Editing, Great Notions Marketing Guide

Even though we didn't do much, we still had the machines regularly serviced; (yes, we had a tech come in to do our thread tensions). Even if nothing was run for the month (most months), we still performed the monthly PM's.

These things are heavy and shipping probably won't be cheap. I'm in Arkansas.

$12,000 plus freight, which I'd be happy to quote if you send me your address.
I'm probably missing a lot, so ask me lots of questions. View pictures at www.thatssoyou.com

A few edits: added info about number of needles and model. Added link to pictures. Corrected job count history numbers.

I've had requests for pictures and more details.
Both machines are single head 12 needle Renaissance Cantare's
Pictures are available at www.thatssoyou.com
Also, my wife swears that she's run quite a bit more work on the machines than I originally claimed. She puts the garment count between 600-1000 pieces between both machines. For the sake of proper representation, consider this an amendment to my original post.
We will entertain offers for only one machine, but don't want to sell pieces, ie. sell the gator clamps only.
Thanks. Joe josephcorn@yahoo.com
