He discusses how many needles they tend to have, their stitch speeds, and more technical details, as well as what kinds of projects and businesses they’re best suited for.

He then goes over some of the similarities between our four single-head commercial embroidery machines, including what they can embroider, their memory capacity, and more.

Next, Henry discusses the major differences between the machines. He goes over a wide range of factors, including the kind of control panel each machine has, their weight, and the number of needles they have.

He also explains how certain machines have better protection against thread breaks. And finally, he goes over the differences in embroidery areas between the four machines, and how this makes certain machines better for things like bulk orders, and more.
