A computerized single head embroidery machine is a sewing machine that uses one embroidery head to stitch designs onto fabric. The “computerized” part means it has a digital control system. You can upload designs via USB or network. The machine reads the file and sews the pattern automatically.
For small businesses, a single head commercial embroidery machine is often the first purchase. It offers professional quality without the high cost of multi-head models. YG manufactures these machines for global customers. Our models support 12 or 15 needles and reach speeds up to 1200 stitches per minute.

When to Use a Single Head Commercial Embroidery Machine?
A single head commercial embroidery machine works best in several situations. Here is a breakdown:
Small Batch Production
If you receive orders for 12 to 24 pieces, a single head is cost-effective. Set up time is short. You can finish small runs quickly. Multi-head machines take longer to set up. For small orders, a single head saves time and thread.
Sample Making
Before running large orders on a multi-head, you need samples. Using a multi-head for one sample wastes time and materials. The single head is perfect for this. You can test designs, check colors, and show clients the final look.
Custom and Personalized Items
Personalized gifts, team uniforms, and corporate gifts often need one or two pieces. A computerized single head embroidery machine handles these orders with ease.
Home-Based or Startup Businesses
Many new embroiderers start with a single head. The cost is lower. Space requirements are small. Power needs are simple. You can run the machine from a home workshop or small shop.
Suitable For: Large Embroidery Area, Cap Embroidery, and Cylinder Bed
YG single head machines handle many product types. The design includes features for different garment shapes.
Large Embroidery Area
The YG1501 offers a 360*510mm embroidery area. This size fits large designs on jackets, backpacks, and tote bags. You can stitch logos on the front of hoodies. You can also create large decorative patterns on dresses and curtains. The large frame holds the fabric steady. This ensures even stitching across the whole design.
Cap Embroidery
Caps and hats need a special setup. The curved surface of a cap is hard to sew on a flat machine. YG machines include a cap driver unit. This attachment holds the cap in place. It moves the cap so the needle follows the curve. You can embroider designs on the front, side, or back of caps. The machine supports 270-degree cap embroidery.
Cylinder Bed for Small Items
The cylinder bed (or tubular bed) is a narrow arm on the machine. It lets you sew on finished products. You can slide sleeves, pant legs, and bags onto this arm. This is called “small goods” embroidery. Here are some items you can make:
- Sleeves and Cuffs: Add logos to shirt sleeves or jacket cuffs.
- Pants Legs: Embroider designs on the bottom of jeans or sweatpants.
- Bags and Backpacks: Stitch names or patterns on bags.
- Shoes and Footwear: Add branding or decoration to the sides of shoes.
- Baby Items: Embroider bibs, booties, or small blankets.
This feature is a major advantage of a single head embroidery machine for sale. You can offer more services to your customers.

Single Head vs. Multi-Head Embroidery Machine
Many buyers ask about the difference. Here is a simple comparison.
Productivity
A computerized single head embroidery machine sews one piece at a time. A 6-head machine sews six pieces at the same time. For large orders (100+ pieces), multi-head is faster. For small orders (1-24 pieces), the single head is more efficient. Setup time for multi-head takes longer. This cuts into the time saved on small jobs.
Cost
Single head machines cost less. They are more affordable for startups and small shops. Multi-head machines are a big investment. You need enough orders to pay for the machine.
Flexibility
Single head machines are more flexible. You can switch between different jobs quickly. You can run one custom design at a time. Multi-head machines are best for running the same design on many items.
Space and Power
A single head is compact. It fits in a small workshop. Power needs are simple. Some models run on single-phase power. Multi-head machines need more space. They often need three-phase power.
Which One Is Right for You?
| Factor | Single Head |
| Order Size | Best for 1-24 pieces |
| Investment | Lower |
| Versatility | High (samples, custom) |
| Space Required | Small |
| Operator Skill | Easy to learn |
Many businesses buy a single head first. As they grow, they add multi-head machines. They keep the single head for samples and small rush orders.
