A great machine, so glad I purchased the Persona

I had done my research and was going to get a multi needle machine, but this persona has all the features of a multi needle with out the extra price. Changing threads is really not a problem, and just takes a few seconds. I am very pleased with the PRS-100 and look forward to years of service. I wouldnt hesitate recommending this machine to someone who is wanting to step up from a flat hoop. The cap rig is easy to use and sews out my designs perfectly. FOUR STARS!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love my machine. I wish it had a larger embroidery field. I have several 6x10 designs that I can't use.

Nice Machine

I bought this machine primarily to embroider clothes for my grandchildren. I picked this machine over a 6 or 10 needle because it would do Disney designs. I am disappointed however that I am not able to use my Disney cards that I have purchased over the years. I do not want to buy the designs again in Ibroidery. Also the dark bloue background behind the thread hole makes it difficult when threading dark colored threads. I have to use a flashlight for additional light.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was happy with the machine that I had,but after using the PRS100 I find myself not using the older ones. It completes my project in half the time and I don't have threads to cut at the end. Yay

Absolutely a good purchase

Love this machine, the only problem I have is the threading at every color change. Very time consuming. I do use a dental tooth threader to make the small areas easier to thread.

Good, but needs are larger embroidery field...

If this came with the ability to go wider than 8" and the needle threader hook didn't bend so often this would be a GREAT machine. The needle threader hook has given me fits since the first week I got this machine - for some reason it bends making the needle threader unusable. I was able to bend it back with a lot of patience and tweezers the first few times it happened (which literally took 30-45 each time to fix) but now it won't go back and I'm stuck manually threading the needle each time (which isn't fun on a single needle machine). Saw online other people having the same problem. I do think for the price it should have an embroidery field larger than 8x8 - I thought it would make a big difference over my previous 5x7 machine, but once I started using it I realized it really isn't that much bigger at all (and costs a TON more).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Machine

I would like to start out by saying most issues I have had with the Brother PRS100 have been user error and not the machine. I purchased this machine 12 months ago. I really wanted to use it before posting a review. I do like the machine and it embroideries well. Threading the machine is really super easy once you learn how. I absolutely agree that a light is needed where the thread comes down and has to go through the hole in the cover (at the bottom). The machine is dark blue and when working with a darker thread it is aggravating (this is why I gave it 4 stars). When using the automatic needle threader... practice makes perfect :) You do have to get the thread in position correctly for it to work. I think where most users have problems, is at the needle bar thread guide. It is a very tight area, not much room. However, it comes with a needle changing tool (threader) for this area and it really makes a difference. I had to use it every time in the beginning, but now I can thread it quickly and without the tool. When changing thread color, I do typically tie the new color of thread to the old and pull it through. Don't pull it through the needle as the knot will bend the needle. The touch screen is very user friendly. There are many options to choose from and it is easy to understand and operate. I do not have to refer to the book very often. I love that I have the choice of a usb stick or direct cable to my computer for designs. I use a software program for a lot of my designs and being able to correct a design without transferring to a usb and then back to the machine is so helpful. I can make the correction and upload very quickly. I have had few thread breakage. Any time the thread broke it was due to me setting the tension incorrectly or poor quality thread. I really wanted the Brother 10 needle but it was over my price range, the brother PRS100 was the perfect solution for me and it didn't disappoint.

I love being able to do handbags etc. much easier with the persona. The one thing I would like is a bigger hoop.
