Machine seems very nice. Have only stitched a few things out. I am not new to machine embroidery so I am hoping this will be fun.. Class was a little underwhelming.. Didn't show much on features talk alot about buisness.
While I like the overall set up of the machine I'm disappointed that it doesn't come preloaded with more embroidery designs. I would have expected it to come close to the number of designs in the Dream series of machines by Brother. I misunderstood the advertising and thought it came preloaded with the Disney designs but now I'm told that is doesn't come with them but will embroider them once I've purchased them. I'm also having issues with using preloaded bobbins.
I have another brand of sewing/embroidery machine but the ease of the hoop changeouts are a plus on the PRS100 and the free arm area is wonderful for those hard to hoop projects.
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.
This is my first machine, it does the job, but in the future I will buy something better. The thread keeps breaking, the tention is very hard to maintain. Not very happy.
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!
