Embroidery Machine to Sew on Letters

[APhi Sailorgirl]

I hope this is a good place for this thread.

Anyway, my alma mater's chapter is trying to go to all sewn letters. Yes, I come from a campus of former puffy painters (it's ok, you can laugh).

Myself and another alum were thinking that it might be easier to buy a secondhand embroidery machine and help the ladies get more nicer looking shirts w/o paying to have them sewn. And it's expensive around campus since only one shop really does it now. Plus ordering online can be expensive too.

If anyone knows anything about the machines I would appreciate it. Things such as good models, etc. Also, I was told that if I get a decent machine, it will do the letters, since we will just be using an embroidery stitch along the outline.

Thanks!
