A two-head, 11-needle embroidery machine typically has two independent embroidery heads, each capable of holding 11 different colored threads, allowing for simultaneous embroidery of two identical designs or two different designs using up to 11 colors each. These machines are commonly used for industrial or commercial purposes due to their higher production capacity compared to single-head machines.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of the specifications:
