A reassuring way to start embroidery properly
The POOLIN EOC05 is designed for people who want to get into machine embroidery with confidence — without feeling overwhelmed, oversold to, or out of their depth.
If you’ve been sewing for a while and are ready to add embroidery, or you’re brand new and want something that feels proper rather than toy-like, the EOC05 is a brilliant place to start. It’s beginner-friendly, but not limiting — giving you room to learn, experiment, and grow at your own pace.
This is often chosen as a first serious embroidery machine, especially by people who want support, guidance, and a machine that feels capable from day one.
Who the EOC05 suits best
The EOC05 is a great fit if you:
-
Are buying your first embroidery machine
-
Want something intuitive and forgiving while you learn
-
Enjoy making personalised gifts, clothing, and home items
-
Are testing the waters with small paid projects or a side hustle
-
Value having real people to talk to if you need help
If you already know you’ll be working on larger designs or using your machine very regularly, you may also want to look at the POOLIN EOC06, which offers a bigger embroidery area and more long-term headroom.
What you can realistically create
With the EOC05, customers commonly use it for:
-
Personalised clothing and accessories
-
Gifts such as cushions, bags, and baby items
-
Small logo work
-
Craft projects and home décor
The generous embroidery area means you’re not constantly re-hooping, and the clear touchscreen interface helps you build confidence quickly — even if embroidery software feels intimidating at first.
Key features (and why they matter)
Generous embroidery area – 4 × 9.25 inches
Large enough for most everyday projects, with both a 4 × 9.25 inch hoop and a 4 × 4 inch hoop included. This gives you flexibility for both detailed and larger designs without unnecessary complexity.
7-inch colour touchscreen
The clear LCD screen works much like a smartphone, making it easy to select, resize, and position designs without endless menu diving.
Institch i2 computer system
A straightforward, beginner-friendly system that lets you combine designs, add lettering, and work with multiple colours — helping shorten the learning curve.
Built-in designs and fonts
Includes 96 designs, 8 lettering fonts, and support for 10 languages, so you can stitch your first projects straight away.
Use your own designs
Create designs in embroidery software, save them in DST or DSB format, and load them via USB. Simple, flexible, and future-proof.
Time-saving automatic features
Automatic needle threading, bobbin winding, and thread trimming take the frustration out of setup and colour changes.
Everything you need to get started
The EOC05 arrives as a true starter package, including:
-
6 reels of polyester embroidery thread
-
Pre-wound multi-coloured bobbins
-
Stabiliser
-
90/14 needles (ideal for fabrics up to 4 mm thick — heavier fabrics may require coarse needles)
