Hi all,
I am about to dip my toes into the world of machine embroidery. This
started with me wanting a SM with font capabilites and over on
alt.sewing Bronwyn suggested I look at a dedicated embroidery machine as
I have no real need to replace the sewing functions of my current SM. I
am seriously considering a Janome 300E or 350E (I have and like my
Janome overlocker) or other machine at a similar-ish price - HuskyStar
EM10, Brother Innov-is 700EII.
I know all the manufacturers have their own file formats - how easy is
it to convert images to these formats?
I see Embird mentioned frequently - is this a better buy than the
manufacturers' own separate (and as expensive as the machine) software?
I would like to be able to embroider simple logos (initially just one
colour) onto t-shirts and sweatshirts for my Land Rover club (not huge
quantities - a few dozen a year?). Would one of the above machines be
up to this?
I shall be heading off to my local dealer (who carries all the above
machines) to test drive the different makes/models.
Any other makes I should consider in the price range of the above machines?
Many thanks
Lizzy

I should also have told you all that I am based in the UK - so makes
available over here would be much appreciated :)
