Hi John.
I bought "Big Red" (the version before the XT) in June of 2004. My
considerations at the time were
16 needles
cutting edge
tensioning set by computer, not by individual knobs on each thread
lower tension setting
CAN work without stabilizer/backing (but finished product really looks
better with it)
cap driver
scaleable/upgradeable
able to add more machines if I wanted to get that big
each one can do something different
if one takes a break, the others don't have to follow
and the biggie
made in the USA
(and while I'm here, does anyone know of a good titanium made in USA
needle?)
And AFTER I purchased it, I found the #1 reason for me to have Big Red:
OUTSTANDING customer service. They are there, and they are just the
best.
I went from my "hobby" to an embroidery business. I had a Singer XL1000
home embroidery machine. Yes, there was a learning curve. Yes, it was
intimidating. Yes, it is bigger than me and no, it did not win (although on
occasion
I still must stop and scratch the head...)
I would purchase another in a heartbeat. Unlike most of the other
embroidery shops, I work at keeping my business small. I managed to put more
wear and
tear on the ol' frame than it was supposed to take, and so I now have to
limit my activity (I think of it as an activity diet). On the plus side of
working from home, the commute is great, the boss doesn't bug me, what
bureaucracy, and there is no dress code.
Ya gotta get one. You'll love it.
Judy
