EquipmentSelect Score
7.9 / 10
Capable large-field flatbed, strongest when oversized layouts matter more than free-arm or multi-needle throughput.
Choose Meridian 2 for large flat embroidery when field size is the paid constraint. Choose Capella for tubular access or Array when multicolor labor dominates.
