Advance embroidery machachines and software

For FortyMM and smason, any input on the quality and reliability? How long have you owned them and would love to hear if you have any comparative assessment on the Avance durability, reliability, quality over other more established brands. Thanks a lot - Phil

We have an Avance 4 head,. What questions do you have?

I use Avance 4 head. What is your question?

Thanks a lot. I opted for another brand but this is good to know. I'll keep you in mind when I opt for a multi-head machine.

no... NO... PM me if you want more.. but I have realized PM's are NOT PRIVATE thanks to another digitizer on here.. but whatever. so I guess that means if you want to hear more from me.. just ask and I will... otherwise forget I ever said NO. lol

Hmmm....I think I know who you are talking about. I sent you a PM with their user name.

Have used one 4 head for 1 year and it is running good. All you need to do is remember to grease and oil the machine. Plus having a good digitizer helps to.

We have been running our 4 head for over 1 1/2 years with very few issues. Most have been user error... it's our first machine. Support from Coldesi has been excellent.

Our budget to get into the emb business was tight and we choose Avance mainly because Coldesi is 30 minutes away and they have excellent training (and price of course). If we hadn't just invested in a new 100k plus screen printing press we would have purchased a higher end brand but, so far, the Avance has been a good fit for us. Our biggest concern is the longevity of the chinese motors and electronics used... time will tell.
