About us
About Embroidery Fit Guide
A buyer's guide, not run by any machine maker or shop, for people in the U.S. choosing their first embroidery machine or a machine that sews and embroiders, for themselves or as a gift.
Why this site
Most "best embroidery machine" pages are lists. They rarely ask what you want to stitch, how big your designs are, whether you also sew, or what you'll spend on stabilizer, thread and software after the machine arrives. We built a fit tool, a hoop chart drawn to scale and one honest page per kind of buyer instead.
Who we are
Embroidery Fit Guide is run by Dr. Michael Niestroj, a sole proprietor based in Germany. We are not a shop, we have no stock, and we don't test machines. Full details are in the imprint.
How we work
Every figure comes from the maker's own pages or manual, or from the shop's listing, linked on the page. Read how we pick and how we make money.
