Just finished a quilt , used the built in quilt patterns on the blocks . This machine did just a wonderful job . The sew out time was 2 min . on the pattern that we used . We also have the PR600 , but the quilt patterns are not in that machine , a real nice addition .
I believe the machine should have come with a 5"x7" hoop. I was also very disappointed that the web site was quite a bit behind the release of the machine. The machine is very good and does everything it is supposed to do. I have come to expect great things from Brother and I am just a little disappointed on this one.
I have only had the machine a little over a month and due to all the holiday business, have not had a chance to use it much. I monagramed several sets of towels for gifts and I love it! It's fast, does a beautiful job, and easy offers a variety of letter sizes. I do have some problem threading it because I am short and have problems looping the thread to through the thread guide holes. But putting the machine on a lower table instead if the stand they sell would help with that. My biggest complaint is the bobbin. I don't like having to oil it everyday. I also have problems putting the bobbin back in because the thread picker is in the way. It could use a little tweaking, but it is the perfect machine for a personal embroidery machine!
I would call the Persona "hybrid" machine. It is built to embroider caps and sleeves with its cylinder arm, yet designed for household embroidery at a good price point. Easy to use, easy to thread, it has a gorgeous monogram and stitch package in the machine. As an added bonuses, I can stitch Disney Designs that I purchase from the ibroidery website!
Had been thinking for some time I could do more if I had another embroidery machine but just couldn't bring myself to purchase another single needle with embroidery only - UNTIL I SAW THE PRS100. It has the flexibility of the multi-needle machines and stitches faster and I think has more reliability that the other machines I looked at. Price is affordable . Love that I can thread easily and the auto-threader feature has never failed. I love that the designs can be downloaded directly from the computer or put on a USB drive for use in the machine. It has a lot of varied designs built in as well. Absolutely think this is a really good machine for a beginning business or for someone like me, who just likes to embroider for myself, my family and for friends.
The PRS-100 is just what I was looking for. It's a super, super machine. It's very innovative. The variety of small hoops is really unique. Stitch quality is outstanding, especially with metallic threads. It's a snap to learn to operate. I've never been a big fan of multi-needle embroidery machines, but I just love my "little" Personna. I couldn't be happier.
