Embroidery Machines?

I have a Signer Quantam Futura embroidery machine and it really sucks. I am starting my own little business and I want something that is really good quality but I don't need more than one needle head. Does anyone know of any good quality machines? Also, do all machines use different digitizing programs?

I have a babylock, made by brother. brother makes some wonderful machines at a good price. I have my own little business too, I suggest you go with a professional machine because the wear and tear on a smaller machine will end up costing you too much. I have more than 12 million stitches on my machine and it is just 2 years old.

From company to company, you will see different formats for the designs but a computer program to change the format of the design is not very expensive. I use 4 different computer programs myself along with a digitizing program so I can make my own designs. Look around at several, make sure you look at brothers Palette program, it is very nice. Also tje Corel Draw is a very good program.
