I started out with a small brothers embroidery machine. I liked it but could not attach it to a computer and had to use the patterns on the machine. I upgrade to a singer futura and almost quit embroidery because that machine was horrible. I went to a local machine store and was introduced to the prs100 and knew it was the machine for me. I would recommend this piece of heaven to anyone wanting to do embroidery . I can not compliment it enough. For someone that has a hard time with sewing machines and embroidery machines as a whole, I would recommend this piece of equipment 100 times over.
My 6th. Brother embroidery machine and my favorite. Great results with little frustration to be had if you purchase good thread and good pre-wound bobbins. Floriani thread and Coates bobbins being my favorites. I have 13 hours on the machine and have only had 2 thread breaks. They only happened because the thread stuck on the spool.
I like the PRS100 and it was easy to learn how to use. The needle threader can be a little problem for me. But overall it is a good machine to have. I think I have outgrown it because I would like to trade it in for a bigger machine.
I had a Brother Emb. Machine the least expensive.......Loved it and wore it out..bought another brand because there wasn't a Brother dealer in our area.....have just bought this and so far am very pleased.........the draw back is going from a 4 needle to a 1 needle........
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.
