I found out she uses the best quality stabilizer and thread compared to what the others use and her work never puckers or wrinkles or is stiff. Why buy with a high end machine if you are going to use the cheap supplies? I think having a comparison of the same design using the best quality supplies and the less quality supplies would make a big impact on the potential buyers.
Great observation. Worth sharing esp because machine embroidery has a steep learning curve and it is an expensive hobby. Kind of like fabric...buy the best you can afford.
