Choosing the Right Embroidery Machine for Your Business: Single-head vs. multi-head embroidery machines

Views

Embroidery has been practised all around the world for many, many years. Initially an art form, embroidery has now become a big industry. It has been evolving year after year and now with the advancement in technology, embroidery has gone from people stitching by hand to machinery stitching in a matter of seconds. Not only this but there are many types of embroidery machines available. Here, in this blog, we will talk about the two most common types of embroidery machines and their key differences:

  1. Single-head embroidery machine:

    As the name suggests, these machines have only one head, meaning it can stitch on one garment at a time. Different models of single head machines have different features, including the amount of needles available and the size of the embroidery field. These machines are perfect for one-off items or individual personalisation.

  2. Multi-head embroidery machine:

    These machines are capable of embroidering on multiple garments simultaneously. Multi-head machines are ideal for large volume production such as schoolwear and workwear.

     Differences:

  • Design complexity: Single-head machines are better suited for complex designs and customisation, while multi-head machines are efficient for large volume production as they can output a higher quantity of work in the same timescale to that of a single-head machine.
  • Production Capacity: Single-head machines generally have a slower output compared to multi-head machines because they work on one garment at a time. On the contrary, multi-head machines work at a faster output rate due to their ability to work on multiple garments simultaneously.
  • Setup and Space Requirement: While single-head machines are compact and require less space, multi-head machines require more space and a more elaborate setup.
  • Cost: Multi-head machines are more expensive due to their increased capabilities and complexity, and single-head machines are more affordable, making them a good choice for small businesses to hobbyists.
