Re: considering a embroidery machine
You have to figure out if you really need a big commercial machine or if one of the littler ones will do. Personally for that little of shirts I would go with one of the six color machines, but then again you can get a used larger one for about the same price that one of those would cost. I have a combo sewing and embroidery machine and it is having to go to the repair man for the second time because I have own out the tension piece for the second time, I am branching out and I am going with Melco, I have had 2 home embroidery machines and they are a great way to start.
Now for software, for the best program at lowest cost I recommend Embird. I have been using it on my machine and works great and has lots of conversion formats. Free 30 day trial but you can't save the designs till you purchase it. There are a lot of support groups out there for Embird. I belong to about 5 of them. Also another great place to look is Allbrands Sew Forum.
Hope this helps.
