Love my PRS 100

I originally decided to buy a multi needle machine since I already have a single needle Janome. I use lots of different colors in my designs, but changing the colors are easy & simple. I'm very satisfied with my machine. It stitches fast & makes beautiful designs. Learning to operate it took no time at all.
I am by no means a professional at embroidery, but I was up and running in no time. Monogrammed bags for my nieces wedding and had a company logo digitized and put it on 16 travel bags within the first week of owning. I love that you can do so many odd shapes. You do have to change the thread color, but it only takes a minute if you tie it off and if the same thread color is in various positions, you can easily group so you don't have to change the thread as much. I absolutely love it. I have heard of so many that always forget how everything works, if they don't use it frequently.
I have only had my machine for about 6 weeks but I love it! I had a single needle Embroidery/sewing machine and loved it but this single needle machine does so much more. Very user friendly!
This machine is easy to use and makes the best embroidery ever. Attended one class on use of My Persona. When I arrived home I made several embroidered examples that evening. Fun, because it is so fast. Instant results. I wanted this machine to keep stitches off my sewing machine. I will use My Persona for items up to 8" x 8" and my embroidery/sewing machine for larger embroideries. A perfect combination. Love it!
Was so excited to get my new machine but problems started immediately. First the needle threader malfunctioned. The little thread grabber that is suppose to go through the eye of the needle is going off to the left. I have to thread by hand which is hard with bad eyesight. Also, the auto thread cutter cuts the bobbin thread too short so the machine stops and I have pull the bobbin out and lengthen the thread, put it back in, and start again. Probably minor adjustments, but totally inconvenient as the machine is downstairs and it is so heavy I cannot carry it. Both my husband and I (72 & 73 years) have bad backs and have to get someone else to carry it. Also we live 75 miles from the nearest dealer.
OMG......this machine is absolutely fantastic and I love it. I also have The DREAM Machine, but this Persona 100 is just over the top wonderful. I paired it with the Hoop Tech clamps and my embroidery life has taken a whole new direction. Thank you so much for producing such a wonderful machine. I can't say enough good about it. Thank you Brother!!!
I love my PRS100 and can't wait to get started sewing and learning all the things I'm able to do with this wonderful machine. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase one and the price was great! Puts a great big smile on my face every time I get to use my PRS100.
Machine works good and has good features. I do have a lot of problem with the wiper. I talked with the company I purchased from and they said I was threading the needle wrong. I changed to there way and still about 8 out of 10 times it goes to move I get a check wiper error. I also have a problem with when I cut the machine on sometimes it will not boot up. The button just flashes yellow very quickly and does nothing. Most times it will clear up with one cut off of the switch if not two. The machine does sew quality products though.
