Sewing & Quilting Machine with Built-in Stitches Sewing Feet

For old-school crafters, embroidering often means of spending hours needling colorful floss through a hooped piece of fabric. And though the traditional embroidering method may be relaxing, it may be worth investing in an embroidery sewing machine to give your hands a break.

"Time-saving is the greatest benefit of embroidery machines," Nina Owens, a representative for Michaels, tells The Spruce Crafts. "Plus, they make it easier to do repetitive and repeat designs, which is great for small business owners."

But even if embroidery is more of a hobby than a side-hustle, Owens notes that using an embroidery machine tends to result in more precise results than doing it by hand. That's because a machine lets you create and transfer designs or add monograms and decorative stitching to all kinds of fabric.
