Halo X Embroidery Machine: What's in the Box

I finally have a new machine—and I have a feeling it’s going to be my favourite: the Halo X embroidery machine. Owning an embroidery machine has been a long-time dream of mine. I’ve always admired the look and feel of embroidered designs on shirts and jumpers, imagining that one day I’d be creating them myself.

After saving up and holding onto this dream for years, I finally made it happen with an industrial-grade embroidery machine that’s as exciting as it is powerful.

Here’s the thing—I’ve never used an embroidery machine in my life. So you can imagine the leap I took by starting with a commercial-grade machine! The Halo X is no beginner’s toy; it’s an industrial embroidery powerhouse designed for serious makers. That means the learning curve is steep, but so is the potential. I'm both excited and a little overwhelmed—but mostly excited—for all the beautiful projects ahead, whether they’re for gifting or building up my small business.

Let’s take a closer look at the Halo X and what comes in the box, shall we?

What’s in the Box – Halo X Embroidery Machine (from Echidna Sewing)

I ordered my Halo X from Echidna Sewing, and let me just say—they’ve done a great job bundling everything you need to get started. Here’s what came in the box:

• Halo X Embroidery Machine (with pre-installed thread stand (10 spools))
• Halo X Machine stand
• 10 x Bobbin (Aluminium) To Suit PR Series Embroidery Machines
• Genuine Towa Commercial Embroidery Machine Bobbin Case
• Towa Digital Tension Gauge
• Needle Setter
• Refillable Oil Bottle with Fine Tip Nozzle
• Echidna L Style Plastic Pre-Wound Bobbins 12 Pack - Black
• Echidna L Style Plastic Pre-Wound Bobbins 12 Pack - White
• 75/11 Industrial Ceramic Coated Regular Point Needle - 10 Pack
• Echidna Polyester Bobbin Thread 5000m 75D/2 White
• Hemingworth Sampler Thread Set
• Printed Halo Manual with Binder
• Maintenance toolkit

One of the main reasons I chose to purchase this machine from an Australian business—Echidna Sewing—is because I truly value great customer service, especially when learning something this technical. From the moment the Halo X arrived, I made it a habit to watch at least one video a day to get familiar with the machine, step by step.

I’ve relied heavily on their YouTube channel for guidance on setup, threading, hooping, and troubleshooting—it’s been an absolute lifesaver for a beginner like me. You can check out their helpful videos here: Echidna Sewing YouTube Channel
