Data from official source
The SAI is Tajima's compact embroidery machine, a single head with eight needles and eight threads ready to sew: built for starting an embroidery business or running an in-store service, from made-to-order monogramming to logos and small runs. The 200x300mm embroidery field fits towels, T-shirts and accessories, not just small motifs.
The 7-inch touch panel walks you through setup, and designs transfer from a USB flash drive or a PC cable, with no complicated configuration. The included Writer PLUS software digitizes by hand, from photos or by drawing directly, with about 1,300 pre-installed designs.
Only the large and small tubular frames come standard: the cap frame and other formats (pockets, socks) are separate accessories. With one design at a time and a maximum speed of 800 stitches per minute, it suits someone starting with a single machine who wants room to grow, not a production floor.

02 · Summary
Pros and cons
In favour
- Eight needles and as many thread colours ready to go, without changing spools mid-design
- The 200x300mm embroidery field fits towels, T-shirts and accessories, not just small motifs
- The included Writer PLUS software digitizes from photos, hand drawing or scans, with nothing extra to buy source
- USB data transfer needs no complicated setup
Worth knowing
- The cap frame is not included as standard: it has to be added as a separate accessory
- A single head: output depends on machine time and does not multiply by adding heads the way a multi-head machine does source
- Power supply covers two separate standards, 100-120V or 200-240V, not one continuous range between them source
