Smart Stitch 1501, excellent machine and fantastic customer service

I have a Redline 1501 15-needle. I bought it mainly because of the price, the number of needles, the huge embroidery field, hoops, the beautiful stitching, and because I can do my own maintenance. Keep in mind that any brand of multi-needle that has “1501” in its name, is basically the same machine with different naming on them. They’re all manufactured in China but I’ve rarely had any problems in the 7 years I’ve used it. Best of luck in whatever you decide to get!

The ones I am looking into are not made in China. Not all machine brands are made in China. The one I used to have was made in China. I never could get it to work right for me.

@@CreativeAppliques I didn’t mean to imply that all embroidery machines are made in China but all of the ones with 1501 in the name are. Sorry for the confusion!

I love my Tajima machines. They’re reliable, consistent in stitching, and the support is great. I really wanted the ability to have someone come to my house to work on my machines and there is a tech within 2 hours of me. My Tajima TMEZ 1501SC has automatic tensioning and presser foot adjustment. Great for switching between materials. It can do flats and hats wonderfully.

Brother PR1055, great quality stiches, Easy to use

I purchased a Baby Lock 6 needle in 2006 and she still runs like new. If you are looking to buy a multi needle, it all depends on your budget. Best of luck.

I have a Brother Entrepreneur Pro 10 needle that I bought in 2015. It is amazing and stitches out very well. I will definitely recommend it. Alta

Wonderful!

I have a Brother Persona that I love for small items that I don’t need to change out thread very often for. For bigger jobs, I have a Ricoma TC1501 and it has done very well so far.

Glad the Ricoma works for you. That is what I had and could never get it to stitch correctly. Thanks for sharing.

I own an embroidery company which I bought from another individual. Began with a Brother 5-Head 15-needle and 1-Head 15-needle. Terrible. Constant needle breaks. Break down for hats a complete nightmare. Changed to a Baudan 5-Head 15-needle and 1-Head 15-needle. I intend to sell the company in the near future but will keep the 1-Head. Perfect sew outs, easily threaded, easily maintained. I use the 5-Head for large jobs and use the 1-Head concurrently for smaller ones. Many times I will use only the 1-Head instead of changing a bunch of colors on the 5-Head. In 10 years I’ve never had a service problem and would recommend it for a home embroider. Definitely recommend if you do hats.

Depends on what you are wanting to do. I have a Brother PR 680, I love it, but not for hats.
