Brother Persona PRS100 Single Needle Embroidery Machine

I use this machine mainly for hats (all types of baseball and bucket hats), sweaters, golf polos, and hoodies different types of hats like bucket hats, all types, flat bill, curved bill, structured and unstructured hats and it's so easy. A lot of those people who gave bad reviews obviously do not understand how to properly operate the cap frame for this machine (PRCF3). There's another hoop for it, the PRCF5 which I don't have but i'm sure it's also a good option aside from the PRCF3. Overall i'm happy with this, and plan on buying a 2nd one. I only special ordered mine back in Feb 2021 and it arrived in May 2021 (had to be built) and it's now 4 months old since receiving it and it's been a powerhouse for me. I've done almost 100 hats on this machine and never stops, even 3D puff designs run perfectly with 2 sheets of foam. Because it's a single needle, threading is just an issue (a few seconds of little delay) when switching color, however it's not really that difficult as some mentioned here. You must be really TOO lazy or too much spoon fed, to not even understand how to properly thread new color for this machine. So EASY. It's in fact way easier than flatbed machines I tell you that, plus it automatically removes jump stitches so no need for manual cutting of jump stitches when your work is done. Noise, it has noise of course compared to a flatbed like Brother SE-1900 flatbed or PE-800. The PRS is way noisier but it's an industrial home machine so it's going to have a noise obviously. But not really bothersome, I like dancing around it while it stitches actually. It's so amazing. It's music to the ears. My only issue is I wish they had a bigger hoop for this, 8 x 8 is OK, but 12 x 8 or more would have been great. Nevertheless, there's accessories that you can buy to trick the machine to do bigger sizes. Overall, this is a great machine. AMAZING and Powerful.
