10:14 Recap
We begin this episode with the first key step in deciding what embroidery machine to buy: determining your goals. This involves assessing where you’re at in your embroidery journey, and what you ultimately hope to achieve. Henry outlines two main questions to ask yourself when evaluating your goals that will help you to further clarify what kind of machine will best suit you.
Next, we review the different machine options available. Henry narrows things down to three different categories of machine types for you to choose from. Each one is specially designed for a particular kind of embroiderer, so the more you know about each style of embroidery machines, the more prepared you'll be to find the right one for you.
Finally, we'll teach you about the dangers of underbuying. While many new embroiderers want to mitigate potential loss and spend less money up-front, Henry explains why it’s important not to underestimate your business potential, and why choosing the right machine is an essential part of that process.
