NEO
{{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}} The Tajima Neo is the only table-top, compact machine ever made by Tajima. The Neo is an entry-level machine in the Tajima lineup of embroidery machines. The first Tajima Neo was manufactured in 2002. In Tajima marketing materials, NEO stood for "Never Ending Opportunities" which was meant to emphasize the machine's ability to work with a wide variety of garments.
Around 2010 Tajima bought the Toyota Embroidery Machine rights.
The Tajima NEO borrowed a lot of the looks and electronics from Toyota. The Tajima NEO is sometimes refereed to as a clone of the Toyota 9000. Tajima has since discontinued the Toyota line. The machine that replaced the Toyota line is called Expert and is also very identical to the NEO as both are produced by the same company with very small changes.
(TEJTII-C) Series
The first Neo was the 2002 Tajima Neo II TEJT C1501. It was a single-head machine with a sewing field of 19.4 x 14inches, and was a scaled-down version of a standard commercial embroidery machine. The Neo II was portable and came with a stand (with wheels) which made it convenient for taking to sporting events, craft fairs, kiosks and trade shows. The Tajima Neo II series had 15-needle, 12-needle, and 9-needle versions. The Neo came with a floppy disk drive.
The 2004 Tajima Neo TEJT-C1501 featured 270 degree cap sash, tubular sash, one set of 270 cap frames, five sets of tubular hoops, removable table,
