Melco Bravo X Professional Embroidery Machine

Putting the pro in prosumer

With 16 needles, industry leading specs and an array of professional quality accessories all at an affordable price, BRAVO X is the perfect machine to bridge the gap between high-quality hobbiest and big profit professional. With BRAVO X, you can embroider apparel, caps, bags, and a variety of textiles with fast, beautiful stitching all while enjoying the simplicity of our patented Acti-Feed™ auto-tensioning, a low maintenance thread trimming system, and our streamlined BRAVO OS operating system that makes color sequencing and design registration a breeze! Engineered to exist at the exact intersection of usability, flexibility and power; BRAVO X puts you in control, no matter your embroidery aspirations!

A Cut Above

The new auto trimming system is durable and reliable. Overall trim time has been reduced dramatically, which in turn reduces overall sew time. The self-sharpening carbide knife maintains its edge so it consistently slices poly, rayon, metallic, and thick Burmilana thread.
