When getting into embroidery, you first want to look at your budget. You’ll want to figure out how much you can afford and how much you are willing to spend on a machine.
Now when it comes to the buying process, you can either pay in full with cash, cover part of the machine with cash and have lower financing payments, or finance the whole machine.
The next step in the buying process is to figure out what machine you want. You can do this by looking at what items you plan on embroidering, the number of items you’ll be embroidering, the machine’s embroidery area, and more. Also, it’s very important to future-proof your purchase when choosing a Ricoma embroidery machine. You don’t want to go with a smaller embroidery machine to save some money upfront but then end up outgrowing it in a few months. Try to anticipate your business’s future growth and choose the right machine based on that.
Then you’ll want to look at accessories. They can either boost your efficiency or expand your product offerings. Choose the ones that you think best suit your business.
After picking your accessories, you’re going to want to look into training. All Ricoma embroidery machines come with free training that will teach you how to use the machine and teach you about embroidery fundamentals like hooping, what backing to use, and more.
The final step in the buying process is the delivery. When you order a Ricoma embroidery machine, the team at Ricoma tests the machine to make sure everything is running smoothly and preps it so you can use it right out of the box. You also want to make sure you let your product specialist know your delivery circumstances before your Ricoma embroidery machine arrives. That way, your machine gets delivered properly, and you’ll have the best experience possible.
