Needs to fine tuning
on September 4, 2016

Machine is larger and cumbersome and this should be taken into account when transporting for repairs. The threading area is dark blue with no lighting which can make threading difficult.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Better than I the machine I had

I had been using a very basic embroidery machine and knew I wanted a bigger and better one but didn't want yo pay thru the nose. This machine fit the bill perfectly. It is doing all that I want or need right now but I should have taken the class to learn all that it could do and how to do it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have found the machine to be very user friendly. This is my first embroidery machine ever and have found that this machine is not too hard to operate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wish this machine was out earlier

I love this machine. The hooping system is so much easier for people with disabilities that affect their hands. I used it to make a wedding gift of Embossed Monogram Towels this past week. The only con that I have about this machine is the threading at steps 6 and 7. There needs to be a tool made to help with threading through the hole at 6 as it is a tad bit dark in that spot. The clip at 7 is hard to do the way Brother shows it to be done. I found if you lower your needle it makes it much easier to see the clip and thread it that way. The other is I so wished this machine was out when I bought my first embroidery machine 4 years ago. I highly recommend this machine to anyone that struggles with hooping on the standard home embroidery machines. I find the 8" x 8" hoop size perfect. Would be nice to have an 8" x 10" hoop for this machine some day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Experience moving from DreamMaker to PRS100
on December 28, 2017
Posted by: bnbontheroad

I have previously had a Quattro 6000, then a DreamMaker embroidery machine from Brother. Due to Houston floods, I moved to the less expensive PRS100 and its ability to do projects that the DreamMaker could not do. I have been satisfied with the PRS100 but there are some drawbacks. The PRS100 is more industrial in nature, so makes lots more noise. It does not come with many usable frames--mostly small ones. And the biggest drawback is that the embroidery size limit is 8"x8". The DreamMaker was 8"x12", so many of my larger designs cannot be easily done on the PRS100. The PRS100 also needs a very sturdy stand due to the vibration. That does not come with the machine but is an additional, rather expensive, purchase. That being said, my dealer provided me with additional frames that work with the PRS100 called Fast Frames. The set comes with many sizes and work pretty well with the machine. The dealer also included a sturdy stand designed for this machine that works well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needle Threader

My only complaint is that the needle threader messed up early on and I have to thread the needle by hand. Frustrating to already needing to haul it in for repair.

I absolutely love this machine. It is easy to operate. It was also in line with my budget. I have embroidered hats and t-shirts with ease. Currently hunting for things to embroider!
