S-1501 Ultra Embroidery Machine with 15 Needles, 1200SPM Max Speed, 12" Touch Screen, Wifi available, 20"x14" Embroidery Area, Beast Machine Embroidering Cap, Hat, Structured Hats and more

I’m completely new to machine embroidery, and the SmartStitch S-1501 Ultra has honestly exceeded every expectation. I was nervous about jumping into something so advanced, but SmartStitch made the process so approachable. The setup was straightforward, and their support team and training videos made it much easier to understand than I expected. Even as a beginner, I was able to start stitching beautiful, professional-quality designs right away. The stitch quality is crisp and consistent, and it runs incredibly smooth. The automatic thread trimming and color-changing features save so much time. I’ve already embroidered shirts, towels, and applique pieces, and everything has turned out amazing. The machine feels solid and reliable - truly built for both beginners and those planning to grow their business. If you’re new to machine embroidery but ready to invest in something that will grow with you, the SmartStitch S-1501 Ultra is absolutely worth it. Also, their customer service is amazing!!

So far I am loving my machine! The set-up videos made things very easy, especially with the included toolkit-which had everything we needed. The user group gives me quick access to help and I already have my tension dialed in. I bought this for my personal use - but this machine lives up to its name. It’s a Beast! Definitely industrial. The embroidery space on this one is HUGE! And the Facebook group they have set up is full of inspiration and help as well. I was skeptical buying this off of Amazon and have been very surprised - in the best way possible. Now I need to name her!!! The user interface is very intuitive and straightforward as well. I’m excited to get creating!!!

I am pretty new to embroidery. I got my first ever single needle in April and I loved it but hated all that came with complex designs on a single needle (rehooping, color changes, multiple items taking forever) I never thought a multi needle would be attainable for a stay at home mom with a little craft side business but the affordability along with the ease of use and the huge embroidery area beat all of the brand names out I was looking at, but at a fraction of the price. My machine arrived on a Sunday we set it up that night and Monday I had my training! Everything you need to know to get started is on YouTube and if you need help they have an amazing Facebook group to help you get things figured out. I message my trainer and training group with any questions, and even tho they are in different time zones than me, someone always gets back to me really quickly. It is huge, which I love. I didn’t want to start with a small embroidery area and spend more money later upgrading so I went for the biggest one I could get and I’m very happy with it. I did not have to purchase anything to start embroidering. It even came with everything I need to do maintenance on it; oil, tools and a little tool box to keep everything organized complete with some spare parts! I also have to say this is quieter than my single needle (old brother PE 770) and I was pleasantly surprised with that! It’s very high tech compared to what I came from so it takes a little bit to figure out the buttons. I have to say I love the “float” feature too that lets you “fast forward” or “rewind” your design to go to an exact area to redo it or to start over if you had an issue. I was able to save a 3D puff hat today because of that! Overall, as someone with not much experience in this at all I found it was easy to set up with a little help from my boyfriend to pick it up on the stand (you will def need two people for this to make sure it doesn’t move on you) but besides that I was able to set everything up on my own and have received amazing customer service from the Smartstitch team about my questions. I don’t usually like spending money, but I am very happy with this purchase and look forward to getting more comfortable with it. I would/will buy a second one of these if my embroidery takes off because I enjoy it so much.

I absolutely love my SmartStitch S-1501 15-Needle Embroidery Machine! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This machine has been a great addition to my small business. Having 15 needles makes switching between colors so much easier and saves me a lot of time compared to a single-needle machine. It stitches beautifully, and once I got comfortable with the settings, hooping, and tension, I was able to create professional-looking embroidery on shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and more. I also really appreciated the training that came with my machine. The training helped me understand how to operate it, set everything up correctly, and feel more confident using all of the features. Having someone walk me through the machine made the learning process much easier, especially since this was a big step up from a single-needle machine. There is definitely a learning curve with a commercial-style embroidery machine, but between the machine itself and the training, I feel much more comfortable and confident taking on embroidery orders for my business. If you’re looking to step up from a single-needle machine or add embroidery to your small business, I definitely recommend the SmartStitch S-1501 15-Needle. I’m very happy with my purchase and the training and support I received! 🧵🪡❤️

I couldn’t be happier with my SmartStitch embroidery machine! Setup was incredibly straightforward, and the stitch quality is absolutely flawless. It handles intricate designs and multi-color logos with ease, running smoothly without constant thread breaks. The user interface is highly intuitive, making it easy to load designs and get moving quickly. If you run a custom apparel shop or are looking to upgrade your embroidery setup, this machine is worth every single penny. It has completely streamlined my workflow! The stitching is precise, the colors transition beautifully, and it’s incredibly user-friendly. It handles everything from simple text to dense, detailed designs without missing a beat. Exceeded my expectations!

I recently upgraded from the Brother SE2000 to the Smartstitch 1501 Plus, and it’s been a total game changer! This is my first multi-needle machine, and the difference in speed, color efficiency, and stitch quality is night and day. The machine arrived extremely well-packaged in a heavy-duty crate (see photos) and felt very secure during transit. Setup does take some space and muscle, but everything was in perfect condition. The build is solid, and the touchscreen interface is intuitive once you get used to it. I completed the official training last night, and I was really impressed. The trainer was knowledgeable and super responsive. When we hit an unexpected issue, she walked over to an engineer and got the answer right away — that kind of real-time support gave me a lot of confidence. I’ve already done some test stitching and a full-color project (photos included), and I’m thrilled with the results. Crisp lines, smooth color transitions, and minimal thread breaks. If you're thinking about stepping up to a commercial machine, I highly recommend this one. The machine is powerful, the training is thorough, and the support team is clearly invested in helping users succeed.

I LOVE IT!! The customer service is bar none, the best. 24/7 is no joke. Once assigned my one-on-one person, and completing my training, I have to say, any questions are answered promptly and in layman's terms. My first stitch out was perfect. I look forward to making many joyous and wonderful things. I highly recommend it! I know 3 people in a 5-mile area who have one and we all love them... I looked at Brother and Baby Lock. In comparison, this beats them out HANDS DOWN!! I have wayyyy better service and don't get me started on the price. User friendly software. Great for a beginner or commercial. LOVE it

I purchased this Smartstitch S1501 Plus Beast Embroidery Machine with 15 needles, etc. I absolutely love it!!! It looks amazing! It seems very durable and doesn't cause a commotion like some I was able to look at on display in some local stores. There are a ton of videos online through YouTube, etc., that will show you what to expect as well as once you order it, there will be people local to your area who will work you to get you up and running. The biggest thing I feared was the tension settings. I love all the help that was there for me regardless. I would give it a hundred gold stars if I could. You can also contact the company located here in the USA for any questions or concerns.
