Embroidery Machines for Tucson Embroidery Shops

Buckets of Ink is an authorized Happy Japan embroidery machine dealer serving Tucson and Pima County from our store in Tempe, Arizona. We help Tucson shops choose the right machine, from a single-head for a home business or startup to multi-head production machines, then handle delivery, setup and operator training.

Sales: single-head and multi-head Happy Japan machines, with quotes on request.
Setup and training: we get the machine running and show your team hooping, thread changes and daily care.
Parts and service: needles, bobbins, hoops and replacement parts from one local source.
