Good Machine

I would like to start out by saying most issues I have had with the Brother PRS100 have been user error and not the machine. I purchased this machine 12 months ago. I really wanted to use it before posting a review. I do like the machine and it embroideries well. Threading the machine is really super easy once you learn how. I absolutely agree that a light is needed where the thread comes down and has to go through the hole in the cover (at the bottom). The machine is dark blue and when working with a darker thread it is aggravating (this is why I gave it 4 stars). When using the automatic needle threader... practice makes perfect :) You do have to get the thread in position correctly for it to work. I think where most users have problems, is at the needle bar thread guide. It is a very tight area, not much room. However, it comes with a needle changing tool (threader) for this area and it really makes a difference. I had to use it every time in the beginning, but now I can thread it quickly and without the tool. When changing thread color, I do typically tie the new color of thread to the old and pull it through. Don't pull it through the needle as the knot will bend the needle. The touch screen is very user friendly. There are many options to choose from and it is easy to understand and operate. I do not have to refer to the book very often. I love that I have the choice of a usb stick or direct cable to my computer for designs. I use a software program for a lot of my designs and being able to correct a design without transferring to a usb and then back to the machine is so helpful. I can make the correction and upload very quickly. I have had few thread breakage. Any time the thread broke it was due to me setting the tension incorrectly or poor quality thread. I really wanted the Brother 10 needle but it was over my price range, the brother PRS100 was the perfect solution for me and it didn't disappoint.

This machine does almost everything I need to embroider. I love being able to do monogram caps that look so professional. It is easy to learn how to operate and stitches beautifully.

A great machine, so glad I purchased the Persona

I had done my research and was going to get a multi needle machine, but this persona has all the features of a multi needle with out the extra price. Changing threads is really not a problem, and just takes a few seconds. I am very pleased with the PRS-100 and look forward to years of service. I wouldnt hesitate recommending this machine to someone who is wanting to step up from a flat hoop. The cap rig is easy to use and sews out my designs perfectly. FOUR STARS!

Love the PRS100

I love the PRS100 and the free arm to embroider bags and other tight items. I do not regret the purchase at all and I only do embroidery as a hobby. The auto threader can be a bit challenging and I recommend being very careful when removing the hoop as to not hit the arm of the auto threader. If you do, it may become unaligned and not work. I upgraded from a PE770, so the oiling on the hook is new to me and I'm still getting used to it. It is hard to tell if I'm over oiling or if it is just right. Overall the PRS100 is a great addition to my craft room.

stopped embroidery all together until prs100

I started out with a small brothers embroidery machine. I liked it but could not attach it to a computer and had to use the patterns on the machine. I upgrade to a singer futura and almost quit embroidery because that machine was horrible. I went to a local machine store and was introduced to the prs100 and knew it was the machine for me. I would recommend this piece of heaven to anyone wanting to do embroidery . I can not compliment it enough. For someone that has a hard time with sewing machines and embroidery machines as a whole, I would recommend this piece of equipment 100 times over.
