I have a sequin dispenser, so that automatically either puts me at $3k at minimum or one particular open source project (which has a step learning curve if unfamiliar with manual/semi-manual digitizing). May be able to make a $1500 program work, also would depend on what features you have on your machine as well.

Anything sub $1k will be mainly auto converting and if one isn't up and how things should look, or how to tweak things, getting home versions will get you in a bind in various ways. Some are decent, some aren't as good as others.įor a commercial digitizing product, your looking at a min of $3k. Now, this isn't related to machines, but don't feel compelled to get the software that they try to bundle with the machine. I have a very good tech for when I need him out of Muscle Shoals, but I don't know if he would go into GA or not. As far as close by, most techs will work on different brands of machines. Stick with name brand as they would typically have a good service record for when you need them. I'm partial to Barudan's myself, but they aren't going to be the cheapest (even used), but from your list, the next one would be Tajima and then SWF. If it's really too good to be true compared to others, it probably is.

Not based so much on which one is cheaper.
