What This Category Covers
Embroidery machines in this range are specified for buyers running commercial embroidery work: caps, flat fabrics and finished garments. Because these machines are bought for production, the selection process should start with the work you intend to run and the volume you need to achieve, not with a single headline specification.
The reference model in this category is the AS-BC1202 Double Head Embroidery Machine, a double head automatic computerized embroidery machine. Its headline facts are:
- 2 heads
- 12 or 15 needles
- 450 x 400 mm maximum embroidery area
- 1,200 rpm
- 10-inch touch screen
These figures describe one reference configuration. Other configurations and their specifications are confirmed on quotation.
Choosing by Head Count and Needle Count
Head count and needle count are the two main selection axes for business embroidery machines.
Head count determines how many items or areas the machine can embroider in one cycle. A double head machine such as the AS-BC1202 runs two embroidery positions at once, which suits buyers who need repeatable output across multiple pieces rather than single-item work.
Needle count determines how many thread colours can be set up without re-threading. A 12 or 15 needle setup supports multi-colour designs and reduces manual thread changes during a run. The right number depends on how many colours your typical designs use and how often you switch between designs.
Buyers should also consider the embroidery area against the largest design they expect to produce, and the control interface against the skill level of the operators who will run the machine. The 10-inch touch screen on the AS-BC1202 is an example of a control feature to compare across options.

The AS-BC1202 is specified for caps, flat fabrics and finished garments, so it may suit buyers whose work spans more than one of these.
