Upgrading to a multi-needle embroidery machine has a lot of benefits, as I covered in my single needle vs multi needle article. However, it’s definitely an investment! Worst of all, a lot of vendors annoyingly don’t post their prices! So, here’s what you can expect to pay for different machines and a few recommended machines for you to ponder.
multi needle embroidery machine prices
4 needle embroidery machine price – $5,500 to $6,000
4 needle embroidery machines are typically among the cheapest multi needle embroidery machines. You’ll likely be able to find these machines in the $5,000 to $6000 price range.
Below you’ll find a couple quality machines in this range.
6 needle embroidery machine prices – $10,000 to 12,000
6 needles are the next upgrade, and while you’ll pay a bit more for these – it won’t be much more in many cases and the added colors will make your job easier. 6 needles are still quite affordable in the $10,000 to $12,000 range.
7/8 needle embroidery machine prices – $6,800 to $10,000
It’s a bit more rare to find machines with 7 or 8 needles. Why? Who knows. It just doesn’t seem to be as popular. However, this category has a couple of exceptional and budget-friendly machines you should know about for sure. These can be had for $6,800 to $10,000 – a decent savings over many 6 needle machines.
10 needle embroidery machine prices – $15,000 to $20,000
10 needles offer an upgrade over 6 needles, but these machines seem to be priced weirdly. Honestly, I find them over priced compared to 12 and even 15 needle models! Expect to pay $15,000 to $20,000 for a 10 needle like the Brother 1055x or the Baby Lock Venture.
12 needle embroidery machine prices – $10,000 to $12,000
If you need a machine with more needles, there is an exceptional deal in the 12 needle range. SWF is a great brand and the SWF MAS 12 needle can be had for a touch under $10,000. However, if you’d prefer another brand, you can expect to pay upwards of $12,000 for a brand like Happy.
15+ needle embroidery machine prices
Need a machine with a lot more colors? There are actually some decent deals in the 15+ needle category. You can expect to pay $14,000 to $15,000+ for a machine in this range. Below you’ll find some excellent multi-needle machines for small business purposes.
