Re: Toyota Machines: Are they worth it for beginners.
Im a Barudan fan. When sitting side by side the Tajima looks flimsy, but I am biased. Seriously though they are as good as each other. Toyota too.
What will tell them apart will be the backup, speed of service and training that you get from your supplier. As Flint54 said, he has very good service from Tajima. But he is in one part of the US and you are in another. Your area might have rubbish service. All three of these machines are good but service is KING.
Another thing to look for too. When you buy the machine, do you buy the digitising software from the same firm? Half your problems or bad embroidery will come from digitising errors . To have the machine AND digitising help all in one place is a must. ( In my opinion ). Something you think is a machine fault could be a digitising error and visa versa.
I started in this business 3 years ago and in the first year I spoke to my supplier a minimum of once a month. Nothing ever was wrong with the machine but you will need to know how to do things. ( And I forgot to mention hooping and backing problems).
I ramble on.
Hope its helps....
Earl.
