New to embroidery
Hi everyone!
I have always loved embroidery, and I have done some hand embroidery -- but no machine embroidery. Now I am trying to set up a business where I embroider (by machine) designs on handbags, totes, table runners etc. I have no intention of doing any production work involving hundreds of the same product. Instead, I'm going to focus on high end custom work.
At the moment I am trying to decide on a single head bridge machine that can handle tubular materials and large hoops. I've narrowed it down to Tajima, Barudan, and ZSK. Which brand do you prefer and why?
Also if possible, I would prefer to use a Macintosh with software native to the Mac (i.e., without Bootcamp or Parallels). Have any of you used Embroidery I2 with Adobe Illustrator? Will TruEmbroidery work on industrial machines? How do those programs compare with Wilcom software?
Thanks very much for all your help!!
