About ThimbleGuide

Updated on

ThimbleGuide helps you choose a first embroidery machine and the supplies that go with it.

Model names are close, and hoop sizes and features are easy to mix up. We want to make that choice simple.

What we do

We read the product details, specs and maker information for every machine we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using a product.

Then we turn it all into plain guides, side-by-side comparisons and clear picks. You can read more on our How we research page.

What we don't do

We don't sell sewing or embroidery machines, and no brand pays us to rank its products.

We don't claim to have tested every product ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
