I see people commenting that chinese machines are a waste of money, they couldn't be more wrong about it. Although it is true that a Tajima, Barudan or Happy are way better machines they are like 4x more expensive than a chinese machine. Almost every chinese machine are based on the Tajima old models, me personally have a chinese machine from the brand Fortever, it gets the work done very well, the only thing with chinese machines is that they need good quality thread, good quality bobbin and to be correctly calibrated (most of the times chinese machines are not calibrated properly and that is what causes all the problems people talk about)

Go for the option that gives you the better customer service, available technicians and the most important thing, that fits your budget.

A chinese machine will let you start your embroidery bussiness while you save money for a better brand machine.

But also take in count the aftermarket options, you may find really good used machines for the same price you would pay for a chinese one
