Love my Persona

But, isn't there always a but? I would have really liked more hoop sizes for larger projects. It isn't that it is hard to change colors, but sometimes I wish I had bought the Janome 4MB that had four needles/threads so I could at least have four color changes just to make it a little easier. I tend to use the Persona for a design that only requires one color, two at the most. Otherwise, I love the machine, but I wish I had the table. The outrageous price for the table is preventing me from getting one. Love the fast frames, makes life so much easier.
I have concerns that after 4 months of owning I had to had the touch screen replaced and I am afraid it might happen again. The shop where I purchased it from was fabulous in servicing and getting my machine back to me in a timely fashion. It is a little noisier than I expected when threading needle and cutting thread.
I have wanted this machine since it came out. I have a Brother In-novis 2200, but I wanted something with an arm so onesies, socks, etc.. would be easier to sew. This machine gave me that without the cost of a multi-needle machine. I enjoy watching the designs come to life and I do this every time there is a thread change. I don't plan on doing any massive orders so this machine is perfect for me.
it is fun to create on this machine. Have tried all features except the hat that will happen later on i have given it a good workout since November only have a small issue with the needle threader and that will be fixed when I take it to the dealer and the cap hoops will be calibrated at that time to use that feature. I love this machine and all it offers. I am not a pro at all but sure feel like it with the beautiful projects I completed and quickly for friends and family. This machine is easy to operate and lots fun. The work space and free arm with front bobbin is such a time saver. well worth the investment this is my second embroidery machine.
I purchased this machine so that I could do hats and other items. I am really enjoying it. It is pretty simple to use. The vendor I purchased from is very helpful with questions. The manual is easy to use. That is the first place I consult when in trouble. The designs I have done so far are great. It would be nice if the hoop could be bigger, however, I knew when purchased it was only an 8x8. I really like the 8x8 hoop and have combined designed so that it is easier do more at one time. Threading is pretty easy, there is a little learning curve with the threader, but it is not that bad. I love that you can change threads by tying a knot and pulling through. Great purchase.
Still learning how to use, but easy to follow instructions. Love how easy it is to use for small embroidery field areas that are very difficult with a domestic sewing machine. The expanded embroidery field area for a onesie for example, is simply not possible with a domestic sewing machine. Looking forward to learning more.
I really love the PRS100, it is easy to use. My threader does not work correctly but I'm sure it just needs to be adjusted. A light in front where the thread goes through the hole, & the threading system could be made easier. It would be nice if it would use larger hoops & Disney designs were loaded on it.
