Barudan Embroidery Machine
The steady workhorse of Japanese multi-head embroidery
Barudan built the first multi-head embroidery machine and has spent over six decades refining it. In Pakistan, Barudan machines are best known for holding registration on tricky jobs — caps, towelling, heavy denim — better than most competitors, and for staying in service well past the point most machines get retired.
Where Barudan performs best
- Excellent performance on caps, towels and dense or heavy fabric
- Servo-driven heads keep detailed designs registered at high speed
- Machines from the 1990s and 2000s are still running daily in Pakistani workshops
- Strong resale value — a well-kept used Barudan holds its price
What to consider before buying
- Fewer authorized service points in Pakistan compared to Tajima
- Some older parts need to be sourced specifically for the model generation
- New multi-head units sit at the higher end of the market

Questions people ask about Barudan machines
The price of an embroidery machine depends on the brand, number of heads, needle configuration, age, condition, stitch count, included accessories and service history. Used machines can vary considerably from one machine to another, so a current inspection and machine-specific quotation is more useful than relying on a single market-wide figure.
See the embroidery machine price guide →Tajima and Barudan are established Japanese embroidery-machine manufacturers with machines used for commercial production. The better fit depends on the specific model, condition, available parts and service support, operator experience and the type of work you produce. Compare the actual machines rather than choosing by brand name alone.
Read the Tajima vs Barudan comparison →Tajima and Happy offer different machine ranges and configurations. When comparing them, look at needle count, embroidery area, head configuration, operating speed, machine condition, parts availability and local technical support. For a used machine, the condition and service history can matter more than the brand name alone.
Compare Tajima and Happy →Barudan parts vary between machine generations and models. Common service parts may include rotary hooks, needle bars, presser feet and belts, but the correct part should always be matched to the machine model and, when available, the original part number.
View Barudan spare parts →For a small operation, the right machine depends on your expected order size, products, available space, budget and required production capacity. A single-head multi-needle machine can be suitable for custom and smaller orders, while larger production requirements may justify a multi-head machine. Parts and service availability should also be considered before buying.
Read the small-business buying guide →A single-head machine works on one embroidery area at a time and can be useful for custom orders, samples and smaller production runs. A multi-head machine can embroider the same design across multiple heads at once, making it more suitable for repeat production. The correct choice depends on your actual order volume, production targets and budget.
