Looking to put a toe in the water...
What are some of the most basic machines that you can get that will accept DST files?
I don't mind changing threads out for a single needle machine as we just can't afford 5k plus for a multi-needle machine right now.
But I am leaving money on the table and loosing jobs because of over priced contract embroider (I just don't think they want the contract work).
Of course I'd like a large sewing area but could compromise that and just suck it up and contract out larger jobs.
Right now I have a 5 shirt left chest two color job that I'm going to sub out. Only 4.50 a place BUT that's 40 bucks towards the cost of the machine if I had one right now and it's a very simple job that a single needle machine would be fine for. Not to mention I wouldn't be at the mercy of my contractors time line. Plus the wife could add embroidery to her baby clothes line we already have going.
I know someone who knows someone that has a Brother PE-770 and they like it... BUT it doesn't accept DST files.
Anyone know where I should be looking?
Oh, would also like/need to be able to do hats.
