I love my machine

This is my first embroidery machine and I am so glad I went right to the top. It's so easy to use, lots of extras included and the display is clear. I use it daily and my husband is enjoying creating patches and other things for our grandson. My only wish is for the option for the 6x10 size hoop since a lot of In the hoop projects use that size.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Exceptional Machine

I purchased my Brother PRS100 to use as my backup for my 10 needle and to use for on-site personalizations at events. Imagine my surprise when I found myself leaning more towards my PRS100 on a more daily basis! It allows me to embroider into tight areas and small areas that I couldn't otherwise get to. My PRS100 also came with a continuous border hoop which I absolutely love! It allows me to move my fabric thru the hoop easily without removing the hoop to align & continue the design. One negative was that in order for me to embroider some things like backpacks & insulated items, I had to use a secondary attachment - the Slimline clamp hoops from Hoop Tech which works great with my PRS100 however the machine doesn't know which hoop is which & therefore I have to align the hoops every time I use them. This is where negative number two comes in - there's no camera A camera like on my 10 needle would help line up the hoops and most importantly when trying to do in the hoop projects to fix an embroidery error, it would be much easier to realign the pattern/design. In the end, the positives far outweigh the negatives. I truely love my PR100 and would recommend it to any serious embroiderer.

Wonderful machine!

I'm so excited about having this machine, love everything about it! I have had a lot of trouble with the hat frame, simply because the directions that came in the box with the 3 parts are useless. Much too small to read and the pictures, which I can always follow, are so confusing. I even went to UTube but could still not get the attachment connected to the machine correctly.

very happy with my new machine

I traded a 6 needle machine for this one because I wanted something simpler . I do not have a business and do not do multiple items, so threading 6 different colors at the beginning and making sure the tension, etc. is correct on all of them is not necessary for me. The Persona 100 has all the bells and whistles that the multi needle machines have, but without all the variables necessary to produce a good quality item. When I do a new item, I almost prefer rethreading each color, because I have more control.
