"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
embroidery has a steeper learning curve and the machines are temperamental, but the pay is worth the investment. buy a quality brand, none of the knockoff junk. Just like good seps, good digitizing determines a quality job or a frustrating day of bird nests...and if something isn't sewing right, check the tension Mighty hoops, good digitizing, Barudan machines are the way to go for us.
? Additionally with embroidery you will be doing higher value items and stupid can be a whole lot more expensive than with SP.
I would disagree with the comment about there not being as many variables in embroidery vs screen printing. Thread weights, needle sizes and point type, backings, toppings and a ton of other things.
