COMMON QUESTIONS

What buyers ask before getting started.

Do I need design experience?+

No. The online software turns JPG or PNG images into winding paths and lets you preview the result before production.

Can it produce color artwork?+

Must I buy proprietary thread?+

No. Polyester is recommended, while nylon, cotton and other strong threads are also supported.

Can the machine run offline?+

The online design software requires internet access. Exported production data can then be imported and executed by the machine offline.

Do you ship internationally?+

Is 110V supported?+

The standard machine requires single-phase AC 220V and does not accept 110V directly.
