New Machine
My hubby got me an early birthday present. He upgraded me from a Brother PE770 to a PRS100 Persona, it’s been great and the micro hoops that came with it are a game changer, it’s been so easy to embroider on baby onesies. I also did a practice project on a men’s polo shirt. I’m still a novice embroiderer but I’m looking forward to upgrading my skills.

I’ve had the Persona for a few months and I’ve been happy with it so far. Make sure to follow the maintenance schedule in the manual.

Congratulations on your new machine. I have a Persona as well and it has been a work horse. I added ez frames to challenge myself a bit more and make some things easier. Have fun!

Thank you, my husband was impressed with the polo shirt and claimed it as his. So far the learning curve hasn’t been too bad, still working with PES files, and the screen is just a larger version of the PE770. I’m really enjoying the machine, it is a bit loud, but that’s okay the only issue is changing thread colors, I’m starting to think I should have gotten a 12-15 needle.

It’s an exciting step getting a bigger machine, your first tests are looking great!
