So my friend has not had any luck finding a used single head commercial machine that’s priced reasonably for her taste. I have to keep reminding her that advertised prices are not fixed! She’s the shy type who thinks haggling/negotiating is nerve racking and rude.
Being a good friend that I am 
, I forwarded two ads for her to look at. We’ll be in touch with the following ad owners soon to request for more infor and we’ll go from there.
Toyota 850 just serviced last month by Data Stitch. Runs great. We love the Toyota machine. I think you will to. We have purchased 3 Toyota machine & we have been very happy. I need to sell this one & purchase a 4 head machine beacuse of our business growth. I am including Intellistitch Pro software for Auto digitizing , Stitch 2000 for lettering & 2000 stock embroidery designs. It comes with various size hoops for flat, Cap attachment with frame. $7000 or best offer.
Toyota embroidery machines have a good reputation which is certainly an aspect one must consider when purchasing equipment. I’ve never really heard of Intellistitch Pro so I can’t comment on this particular digitizing software. However, the fact that I’ve never heard much about it could be a bad thing.
Brother commercial machines are also reputable. Again, I have no idea about their embroidery software so research is in order.
