Embroidery machine size and stitch limits

One of the imperative criteria for a successful embroidery project is coordinating your embroidery machine abilities with the design you are contemplating creating. 

Some embroidery machines can work within a rigid frame or with a specific stitching range. Their technical characteristics won’t let them decipher more complex project designs. For possible queries, we composed the following chart. 

The table is extended for you to consult before ordering any designs. If the pattern size exceeds your machine’s range, it won’t be able to read it. The same holds for the number of stitches featured by your embroidery machine.

Not every model is named in this chart. In case yours is not mentioned, by mailing the manufacturing company you can learn the information.

My name is Lyudmila Konovalova, and I lead Royal Present Embroidery. Embroidery for me is more than a profession; it is a legacy of my Ukrainian and Bulgarian heritage, where every woman in my family was a virtuoso in cross-stitch and smooth stitching. This art, passed down through generations, is part of my soul and a symbol of national pride.
