Machine embroidery for labels
#1
I love to quilt and would like to make my own labels and do some lettering on the front of my quilts. I ONLY want an embroidery machine that does lettering, not pictures, etc. Something simple. Does anyone have a machine like this? What is the price range to buying something like this? Is there a large learning curve to it? I am clueless about it...
I can go to a sewing machine store and try them out. I just want a starting point so I don't buy too much or get taken advantage of. Thanks.

if you just want letters, i would go with a sewing machine that does them (my janome does) embroidery machines can do anything you program them to so i don't think are any cheap ones that just do letters

I have a brother SE 350..... I can do pic as well as fone and it is a combo, so it is a sewing machine as well... It comes with 4 fonts but u can download or puchase others. cost $ 300-400.
It's down side is it will on ly do up to a 4 x 4 hoops sz... other brothers are slightly higher and will do 5x7 and up. I make my own labels up to 5-6 lines. Just can't get too wordy.

I'm not sure if I can help with your problem, but, I thought this would be a good opportunity to ask my embroidery question, I just recently got a Brother 770, and I tried to create letters small enough for a quilt label and I can't seem to get the fonts small enough, does anyone know how I can get the letters included on the machine small enough to make a label.
