StitchPhiles with Barudan America

We just made it back from the Impressions Expo Atlantic City 2024 and thought it would be a good time to discuss some common questions we get asked about the technology advances in embroidery machines. This episode is by no means a knock on any of our competitors machines, but an explanation as to why we do not have some features on our machines that you may find elsewhere. We felt like it was worth discussing so please leave your thoughts and comments. We'd love to hear from you. website: www.barudanamerica.comInstagram: @barudanamericaFacebook: Barudan America Incemail: barudanstitchphiles@gmail.comShopBarudan: www.shopbarudan.com

The infamous VINNY EACCARINO gets discussed as well.   Our main topic for this episode is buying a used Barudan embroidery machine.   Have you heard the term, "A Pig in a Poke"?   Don't worry, the  majority of us hadn't either.  Essentially, it means don't buy something without knowing about it and doing your due diligence to find out everything you can about the purchase.  Thanks to Bob for gifting us with this phrase.   We give you some considerations on buying used machines, where to look, questions to ask and how to avoid that pig in a poke.   Thanks so much for listening and supporting us.  Make sure you give us  follow on all our platforms and take a minute to subscribe and leave us a comment.  website:  www.barudanamerica.cominstagram: @barudanamericafacebook:  Barudan America Incemail: barudanstitchphiles@gmail.comwebsite: www.barudanamerica.comInstagram: @barudanamericaFacebook: Barudan America Incemail: barudanstitchphiles@gmail.comShopBarudan: www.shopbarudan.com

On today's episode we discuss getting started in embroidery.  Whether you are brand new and starting an embroidery business, to existing businesses wanting to add embroidery to your lineup, we cover it all.   We get calls daily, asking us which machine is right for me, what supplies do I need and should I buy this accessory.   We go over the differences in the XL-2, Pro-3 and C-01 to help you decide which one might be right for you.  Of course we go off on tangents, because that's also what we do.....Squirrel!!!!So sit back and enjoy the soothing sounds of StitchPhiles with Barudan America.website:  www.barudanamerica.cominstagram: @barudanamericafacebook:  Barudan America Incemail: barudanstitchphiles@gmail.comwebsite: www.barudanamerica.comInstagram: @barudanamericaFacebook: Barudan America Incemail: barudanstitchphiles@gmail.comShopBarudan: www.shopbarudan.com
