Great Purchase

I have embroidered for years and have 3 Viking machines also but when 2 of them needed service at the same time, decided to try the Persona as I had seen some info on it on facebook from other embroiderers. Great unit as I can now do small areas easily. Kind of wish it had a bigger hoop than 8x8 but I have my other machines that will work for big items. I have done many onesies, t shirts, bags, etc already and plan to figure out the cap unit and also use the really small hoops to embroider my son in laws initials on his dress shirts (at his request) I did not get the table top part so have not tried towels due to hanging weight off unit. I did get the 5x7 hoop instead of the continuous one that came with unit and have used that also several times. Because I have embroidered a lot, was easy to learn. If you have never embroidered before, would take a little longer to get comfortable with unit, I think. I also had never had a Brother before but have bought 3 of my grand daughters Brother sewing machines/quilting machines when they were 9 to learn to sew on so was somewhat familiar with name/reputation. I also love the filtec magnetic prefilled, sideless bobbins that I can use with this machine! Having to oil it each day was something new to get used to doing as I have never had to oil a machine in the 50 years I have been sewing/ 7 years I have been embroidering.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it but feel limited

I love this machine it makes embroidering totes super simple which is part of why I chose it over the other machines I looked at with this being my first machine it looked more user friendly. The only disappointment I feel that leads me to want to upgrade so soon is the small embroidery field 8x8 is advertised for this machine as being large but most in the hoop projects require at least a 6x10 space so I can't do a lot of things I want with this machine.

Awesome Machine

This machine was a much needed upgrade for me. The PRS100 is very user friendly and didn't take long for me to adjust. I bought it for the variety of hoops that came with it and have not been disappointed. I also love the laser light feature, it enables me to even up my design by small ticks or by larger spans. The 1000 stitches per minute and the fact that it cuts my jump stitches in the design have been very impressive, as well as saving me time!!

It is a great machine, just wished in threading the last one would be easier to see. It is hard to see the last hole with dark thread, (May just be me, have eye problems)

I love this single needle embroidery machine! Even though I own the top of the line embroidery/sewing machine from another brand, I now do the majority of my embroidery designs on this machine! The back of the embroidery is so much cleaner! I have very few threads to cut whereas my other machine, it looks like a jungle in comparison. This machine It creates a beautiful stitch!

I can finally embroidery with out the restriction of hooping! The bobbin thread us a bit of a challenge on occasion. It is difficult to get to and I'm not sure if it is loaded correctly until the sewing begins.

I just finished monograming 15 bags for teacher appreciation week. Couldn't have done it on my other machine. I can't wait to monogram my granddaughter's tennis shoes and a hat for my husband.
