Refurbished Embroidery Sewing Machines – A Good Option For Home Users – Sewing Machines Los Angeles

With rapid technological advancement, embroidery and sewing machines are also changing fast in their features, variety of designs they can stitch out and ease of operation. However, as new technology is always costly, most of these machines are out of reach of home users. But if you want the advantages of new technology without significantly increased costs, you can always go for a refurbished embroidery sewing machine. Refurbished embroidery sewing machines offer the advantages of modern technology at an affordable price for home users. A number of embroidery sewing machine manufacturers have come up with refurbished versions of their old models that have several features of the newer machines minus their prices.

Brother International, a market leader in refurbished machines, has introduced some new refurbished ones that will suit your needs as well as your budget. Here is a brief description of them:

Brother HE 120 Machine: You can create delicate designs that would be treasured by your family or the customers using the built in stitches of this refurbished embroidery sewing machine. It features 98 stitching functions with 70 embroidery designs including floral design and seasonal themes plus 10 border shapes with 12 border styles giving 120 different border combinations. Unlike many machines, it has a 4″x4″ embroidery area which is a little too small, and an LCD touch screen with computerized stitch selection. You can thread the needle on it without even touching it using the new cassette threading system and create 10 styles of button holes in one step with its auto shape buttonhole system. It comes with a foot pedal and an instruction manual included.

Brother PC 6500: This is another good refurbished embroidery sewing machine if you are starting out sewing and embroidering. It has a large 7.1″x5.1″ embroidery area and up to 11.8″x5.1″ multi-hooping capability. It has 850 built in decorative and lettering design choices which you can view on your fabric on-screen before the embroidery begins. The display shows separate color areas, estimated time of embroidery and the thread color suggested. It automatically stops at the end of each color area and cuts top and bottom thread for re-threading of the next color. It has a convenient memory card slot, drop feed control for darning and patching, one step button hole styles and automatic thread tension and stitch reinforcement.

Both refurbished embroidery sewing machine models have been well received by customers although some have found the embroidery area of HE120 small. The embroidery area of PC6500 is comparatively bigger. First timers found some operations a little difficult in the beginning, like self needle treatment and wounding of the bobbin. But after the initial difficulty everything was smooth sailing. All have vouched for its ease of operation, even those who have a dread of computer electronics.

On the whole both these models of refurbished embroidery sewing machines are a great buy for family use or for small business especially for those who are just starting out.
