The Marquee 20-Needle is a professional single-head, 20-needle embroidery machine built for production embroidery: the needle changer lets you load up to 20 thread colors and keep working without stopping for every color change. It embroiders at up to 1,200 stitches per minute and rotates the cap frame 270°.
The 10.1-inch touchscreen panel handles hoop parameters; the machine connects via USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi and holds up to 100 million stitches or 1,000 designs in memory. The included kit comes with 11 hoops, 2 cap rings and 1 cap driver, so cap embroidery needs no separate accessories.
It only reads the DST format: anyone digitizing in other formats has to convert them before loading them onto the machine.

Pros and cons
In favour
- 20 needles loaded with different colors: you keep embroidering without stopping for every thread change
- The cap frame rotates 270° and comes included in the kit, no separate accessories needed
- It connects via USB, Ethernet or Wi-Fi, handy for sending designs from more than one workstation
- It holds up to 100 million stitches or 1,000 designs in memory, no need to keep reconnecting a USB drive
Worth knowing
- It only reads the DST format: other formats need converting before loading
- It's a single head: anyone wanting several embroideries running at once needs to add machines or move to a multi-head model
