I have always worked on Tajimas and Barudans, but I have never seen a SWF in action, have anyone tried to compare finished emb, SWF VS Tajima/Barudan, I'm in the need to add another machine to the shop, I was thinking in an SWF, people say good things about it.
Thanks

We have 11 SWF Heads. Price is good, quality is good, service is a little hit and miss, but the machines are really reliable. I have seen SWF machines sew amazing, I have seen Tajimas sew like crap, and vice versa and everywhere in between. I think the machines are all capable of great work, I think some machines probably require more work to get the same result, and I think that operator/software is every bit as important or even more important than the machine. So comparing X/Y/Z sew outs from X/Y/Z machines just keep in context that you could be comparing a pro to a rookie or whatever.

I run an SWF. it's a good machine. especially for the price. I liken it to a Hyundai. They are a Korean knockoff of a Japanese machine.
There aren't as many techs out there, so get good at fixing it yourself. It's not hard, except for the trimmers. that's a pain.
brandt is right, I have seen our machine put out work that a tajima would be jealous of, I've also seen tajima work that I laughed at. Most of it is the operator.
That being said, Tajima and Barudan are what I consider 1st class, SWF is in the 2nd class.

All things equal (software/operator/etc) I fully agree with that.

No doubt about it. We already are looking at more machines. Another 4 head would be nice.

Same here. Crazy how I did not realize how much embroidery I was turning away because I did not want to outsource the little stuff. Time to get more heads.
