You can find embroidery machines for less than $800! This machine is similar mine.

I use the Brother PED basic and free Stitch Era software to make the designs I want. Embroidery does not have to break the bank. There are cheap ways to make fun designs.

If you want to find out more about embroidery here is an excellent blog series from The seasoned Homemaker.

Enjoy!
