MakerMondo

The BAi The Mirror is an entry-level commercial 15-needle embroidery machine built for makers, home-based businesses, and print shops making the leap from hobbyist gear to reliable production. Combining heavy-duty performance with a compact footprint, it delivers industrial stitching speeds, automatic thread trimming, and seamless color changes across flat garments, jackets, bags, and structured caps.

• 15-needle efficiency: stitch multi-color logos up to 15 colors without manual thread changes, saving up to 70% of setup and production time on customer orders.
• Commercial-grade speed: stitches at up to 1200 SPM (850 SPM on caps), so a batch of 5 shirts or 5 caps takes about an hour.
• Compact commercial footprint: engineered with a 30.3 in unboxed width to easily clear standard 32 in and 36 in doorways, making it an ideal choice for home studios and small shops.
• Large embroidery area: 13.8 × 19.7 in maximum embroidery field for bigger, bolder designs.
• Built for hat embroidery: comes with dedicated cap hoops, a cap driver, and a cap station for clean, structured cap designs straight out of the box.
• 6 hoop sizes included:  3.5 in, 4.7 in, 5.9 in , 7.8 in, and 11.4 x 11.4 in hoops (two of each), plus one 13.8 x 19.7 in hoop, so you're equipped for small logos up to full back designs.
• Wi-Fi pattern transfer: load .DST and .DSB files wirelessly via InStitch Cloud or via USB drive, fully compatible with Wilcom, Hatch, Embrilliance, and Chroma.
• Simple 3-step workflow: the touchscreen control panel walks you through pattern, color, and framing setup, so you're stitching in minutes.
• Precision & safety suite: built-in red-laser positioner for precise alignment, plus optical thread-break sensors and emergency power recovery to protect your blank garments.
• Compact and mobile: a space-saving frame on 360° swivel wheels with adjustable, levelling feet makes it easy to reposition or move between jobs.
• Free training and lifetime engineer support: get set up with free online training and ongoing access to engineer support whenever you need it.
• Free software included: Institch control software, a built-in production cost calculator, and Doodle digitizing software to create your own designs.
• Starter kit included: arrives with a handrail, embroidery tool case, sample threads, and cut-away stabilizer so you can start your first project right away.

Start with commercial capability

You want to turn your creativity into a home-based shop. You need a machine that is easy to learn and capable of producing professional work.

• Get started with easy operation and free training
• Create caps, apparel and multicolor embroidery products
• Leave room for more products and orders as you grow

Expand your business with embroidery

If you run a heat press, DTF, DTG, POD, vinyl or HTV business, your existing customers may already be asking for embroidery. Adding embroidery allows you to meet more of their needs without sending those orders elsewhere.

• Add embroidery alongside your existing print and customization services
• Turn customer requests into a new source of revenue
• Expand into caps, apparel, bags and personalized gifts

Bring your production in-house

Maybe you already purchase embroidered apparel, gifts or custom products from an embroidery shop and resell them to your customers. As orders grow, outsourcing can limit your control over cost, turnaround time and personalization.

• Bring embroidery production under your own control
• Reduce dependence on suppliers, minimum quantities and lead times
• Handle logos, names and small-batch customization more flexibly
