LOVE my Zelda (aka a Brother PRS100)
on June 4, 2020

I have never been happier with a machine. Zelda is super easy to use, but still feels like she is a high-end machine. Makes life so much easier. I truly have no complaints. The only suggestion that I have is possibly some sort of light on the front of the machine to make putting the thread through the little hole easier. But, that's nothing that a flashlight doesn't take care of for me.

Love this machine

I love this machine. Was disappointed that the hat hoop is no longer included with the machine as everything I’d read before purchasing indicated that it was but it is still a fantastic machine. Fits in perfectly to my Brother lineup and now I can really get things done!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exciting

I should say exciting AND intimidating. I have been in the sewing business for years on a Brother that must be 60 years old. No bells or whistles, goes forward and backwards. My new PRS100 has so many advanced features that I sat and stared at it for a day! I studied the manual and jumped in. What an amazing machine. It is very user friendly and works like a dream. I have been working on it for about three weeks and am having a blast. My suggestion for new owners - shut off your cell phone, turn off your TV, get rid of hubby and the kids and concentrate! This machine is predictable but you have to concentrate. Soooo many options. My suggestion to Brother - come up with a light we can purchse for thread guide number 6. I purchased Brother brand because of the excellent reliability of my previous machine. Let's see if this one will last 60+ years.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good machine - Needs an upgrade

I have had my machine about 3 years. Very easy to use. they really need to add a light to the front to make make threading the machine (thru the little hole in the dake blue face) easier to see when using dark colored thread. Other than that it is a good machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a good little embroidery machine, Pros: Works like a dream Cons:Price--It's worth paying a little more and go on and get a multi-needle emb. machine. It's only a "single needle" requiring you to change thread spools with each color.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Too new to tell you much, but the threading isn't as convenient as I'd like

PRS 100 problems
on October 4, 2016
Posted by: luv4whtroses

I am finding that the needle threader is horrible. It is easier to thread the needle than fool with it. I am finding that you better have it in a well lit room, as there is only one light on this machine and it is right at the needle. It is not easy to get the hat straight or tell if it is straight on the hat attachment. I didn't have any problems with the centering. Maybe I just need to play with it more. It was easier doing hats on my 6200 dream weaver than using this. For the money, I really don't believe that it is worth it. I feel that it should have come with a medium size frame also. It is like having a big heavy white elephant in my sewing room. I hate to think about ever having to take it to get serviced.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Christmas Present EVER!
on January 6, 2018
Posted by: DMW004

I started off with a Brother SE400 and I didn't know anything about embroidery. I fell in love. I told hubby if he won the lottery to get me a Brother Persona PRS100. He got it for Christmas and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. We just found out at Christmas that my oldest was expecting another child in July. So I have been busy embroidering squares to make a baby quilt. With my machine the "fast frames" came with it and I am telling you with the speed of this machine and "no hooping" it's been a dream come true! The laser light is incredible! I got to choose between the Brother Cabinet or the Arrow Ava Cabinet. Sorry Brother, I choose the Ava. It has storage space that the Brother lacks. Brother might want to consider re-designing that. I would highly recommend this machine. You will not be disappointed!!!
