I have had people tell me 15 needle machines are too big for them, that they'd never need that big of a machine. I, also, hear the woe of of those who started with a one needle and then going to a six needle then going to a ten needles, etc. Then having to find people to purchase these smaller machines when they quickly grow out of all them. Money spent that they can never fully recuperate. They tell me these stories as they finally step up to a 15 needle machine.
These embroiderers find that they want to branch out to do this or that and run into the problem that the machine they have won't run the item, or the sew field isn't large enough. The other issue comes with the machines that claim to have a large sew field but you have to flip the hoop, which leaves a thick area in the middle of the design. They quickly become disillusioned with the smaller machine they have and want to move up to a bigger machine again. Only to end up in the same place again within a short period of time. When it comes to hoops, there's No flipping the hoop with a Blue Sky embroidery machine. The Actual sew field is 600mm x 400mm. That's a smidge over 23 1/2 inches by 15 3/4 inches that you sew all at once without ever flipping a hoop. And you can even use the 17x16 Mighty Hoop with a Blue Sky CBII! Embroider what you want when you want. The question is never, can I embroidery on this item, because the answer is yes. The only question is how to run it, hoop it, float it, pin it, etc. Want to do shoes, not a problem; hats, of course; thick vinyl and leather, absolutely. Looking to run on chiffon, silk, satin, positively. All in-between, definitely. The other thing I hear people tell me is the machine has too many needles, they don't need that many. If you are used to only 10 needles, you can use the other needles to keep set up for other projects. Maybe you normally use sharps, so 4 needles could be ball points (or visa-versa), and 1 needle could be set up for metallic or leather, or any specialty needles for either purpose. Giving you the option of not having to change out needles every time you do something a little different from your normal.

We're having a Live Event to showcase our new design Blue Sky CBII embroidery machine. We'll show you how it runs, we'll show you all the new features. We'll even show you how to run one.
Come watch us live and ask questions. You want a company that will work hard for you, care about you. Not just become another number in their system. We guarantee our customer service but don't take our word on it, come ask our owners. Isn't it time to Soar into the Blue Sky? That's a question we get a lot of. The worry behind the question is we won't be open when a person might need help.
The Answer is that we have odd phone hours due to our customers being all over the United States, Canada and a few other countries. When we are training someone on the west coast, Washington to California, we need to be there for that person. Maybe they can only train or get help after they get off work and drive home? Might be as late as 6pm to 7pm on Pacific time; which means it is 9pm to 10pm here in Florida. So, a 2 hour training session might keep us up till after midnight, and that means we might sleep in the next day a bit. Another reason we keep different hours than many other businesses, is sometimes we are filling store orders in the morning or in the late afternoon. Ending our phone hours at 4:30pm gives us some time to catch up on other things for our customers. We also know sometimes people cannot call in those hours, all you have to do is send us a message, text or email and we'll set up a time that works for you. Yes, even if it is as late as 7pm PST. You don't have to fit us in, we'll work around your schedule, because our customers are Always important! They aren't really customers anyway... they become apart of our Advantage Family. I've had so many people ask why I tell you about our customer service. People have asked, why would you need great customer service if the Blue Sky embroidery machine is everything we say it is.
Well, there are errors wherever humans tread. That is just the basis of human nature. Making that mistake and where do you turn? What if a machine simply starts making a noise? What if you are struggling with some item that you've never embroidered on before? What if you want to simply ask how to hoop an item? What if that one brand of hat gives you issues and you need to know a few ideas that actually work? Customer service is rarely about repairs and more often a question of what or how. You need more than an office person or a repair tech at times, you need someone knowledgeable in all area. Someone who will listen to that sound it is making even if it is barely audible to most. We listen, we care and we have solutions. Nearly every company out there will tell you about their excellent customer service, but if you find real owners, they tell a different story. Talk to anyone who owns a Blue Sky and they will tell you that we back up what we say. We are here for you and always will be. We've even heard that other companies have started to push the idea of what happens if something happens to us. And yes, we do have a plan in place. You will never be alone when you purchase from Advantage Inc. With our machines running so flawlessly, we still don't have much to do and are always waiting (happily) to answer calls and answer all kinds of questions. Our customers are more of a priority AFTER the sale. We want you happy and running and making your money. In todays world, you want a company that works for you, not one you have to work hard to get an answer from. This year, treat yourself to the perfect present, one that will make the holidays a bit easier next year. Creating your own financial security and creating presents all at the same time.
With a Blue Sky embroidery machine, you can make your dreams come true. Whether you are a big business, small business, or just an at home crafter, our prices beat out the competition. Our machine will meet or beat the best quality out there. As well as be a workhorse for you and all the jobs you throw at it. Built to be strong, built to last, built to outperform. And no one, I repeat, NO one beats our customer service before, during or after your purchase. Especially after. You'll be just as important to use 5, 10 and even 15 years down the road, for as long as you have your machine. Happy Holiday Season Here at Advantage Inc., we've been working hard and expanding. We're getting ready to roll out our latest secret. Coming on Thursday May 6th. It is So hard to keep things under wraps!
We'll still carry our Awesome standard H styled machine, but now we are going to have a second style! So, Keep Watching and come back for our big reveal. This year we need to make the most of our Spring 2021.
It is time to Spring into Action. Take your life back! Take your finances back! It's time to make that big investment into yourself. Show the world what you are made of. Show what you can accomplish if only given the chance. It's time to soar into a Blue Sky embroidery machine and create your own products. So many easy ways to sell today and you don't have to invest in advertising as you can let your products sell themselves. There are thousands of directions to take your business when it comes to embroidery. Sure there's items like business wear, but there's also kid backpacks, shoes, shirts. Baby wear, blankets, bedding, and even specialty items for babies like christening gowns, baby bags, and more. But there's so much more than just that. Business items like brief cases, ties, luggage, etc. Animals are another great way to go. Love animals? If there's a type of animal there are some things you can do, like dogs need collars, leashes and even jackets. Cats need cute collars and cut beds. Horses have bridles and tack, blankets, saddles and more. Riders even need their items customized as well. Into auto's? You can customize car mats, car seats, headliners and even car covers. Customize that matching interior embroidery with matching embroidery on the clothing of the owner. Weight lifting? Bicycling, motorcycles, paint balling, golfing, tennis, sports of any kind, you name it. Customizing is the way to go, people are searching for it and you are just letting money slip away from you. There are so many fields that I come across every single month, a new way that customers took the persons business. What are you doing with all this extra time? Isn't it time you took your future into your own hands? Took your ideas into a way to create your future and your financial stability? Invest in You. You are worth it. You have what it takes. Show the world what YOU can do. We have our wonderful Blue Sky embroidery machines (series 2) ready for shipping as always. Still with all our new features, free training, free help, and we teach you to maintain and work on your own machine. But we have a secret as well. Something is coming. Something new. I can't talk about it much, but in a few more weeks we'll be unveiling our second style of machine. We're so excited! Can you feel our excitement? I'm not going to say much else other than YES, it still has our beautiful Blue coloring. This won't replace our Series 2 machines, but be sold as a second option. #AdvantageInc #BlueSky1501emb #BlueSkyembroiderymachines #embroidery #Embroiderymachine #Machineembroidery #1501c In 2020 Advantage Inc. worked hard to cut our paper usage down and we have achieved a goal of 20% less paper used in our office than in 2019. We have also used far less ink and less energy at the same time, by not using the printer, on cutting down on all the paper usage.
We're excited to go into 2021 continuing these practices and working to cut our paper usage down even further. We are researching ways to continue the process and achieve a greater goal of 35% by 2023. We're working to go as electronic as possible and to continue to save energy, space and paper where we can. Our Blue Sky embroidery machine still has all the same great features as before, but now has some added features!
We have been working to expand in the ways that our customers need. We've listened, we've heard and we incorporated. Because our customers matter. You can now use Wi-fi to put your designs into your machine if you prefer. Of course we kept our 3 USB ports if you prefer to use a usb memory stick. Whatever works best for you. Doodle Art, you simply draw on your machines screen and everything else is done for you. Maybe you'd like to have a child or grandchild doodle and save the memory in embroidery forever. Embroidery on a canvas and create a keepsake that lasts lifetimes. Photo Embroidery, you just take in a jpg and the machine does the rest. How easy is that? And Lettering has 12 fonts that you can use. This is different than the fonts that normally come with the machine. Do you feel my excitement? We can do virtual private shows and we do virtual public shows now and then as well. |
