Brother PR1055X Embroidery Machine Review
Are you looking to start a professional embroidery or sewing business?
Or do you already own one and want to add a new embroidery machine into the mix? Well, then do we have a machine for you!
The Brother PR1055X Embroidery Machine is a machine for professionals, and is the top performer in the Brother embroidery machines range. It’s an industrial style embroidery machine that churns out beautiful and precise work in no time at all. It has so many options and features that home embroidery machines don’t have that really make it an asset in your business.
You can take on so many different projects with this machine in your studio, and really boost your income by offering embroidery services to a vast array of new clients, including other businesses!
The first thing you’ll notice when you look at this embroidery machine is that it holds many cones of thread at the same time. That’s because the Brother PR1055C has 10 needles, so you can load up to 10 colours at once. You won’t have to unthread and thread the machine over and over like you would have to do with a one-needle machine, which most in-home embroidery machines are. It’s a time saver!
With so many needles, you’re probably wondering how difficult it is to thread this machine. It’s not difficult at all! You’ll love the easy flexible threading system Brother has created for this machine. It makes quick work of threading each needle and changing colours when you need to.
Besides threading, we all know bobbins can be a pain to replace and load. That’s why the engineers at Brother made sure that this machine has a bobbin that you can load very easily. It’s easy to access, easy to wind, and easy to load.
The large embroidery area really gives you the ability to work on projects of any size. The PR1055C comes with five hoops, too, so you’re able to really work on any kind of surface size of project. From hats to bags to shirts, you’ll be able to embroidery pretty much anything you set your mind to!
With large projects, we understand that you might be concerned about what the machine can handle weight-wise. You won’t have to worry about that! The Brother PR1055X Embroidery Machine includes a table to support large and heavy projects, such as blankets and jackets.
A professional grade machine needs to have good lighting, right? A professional machine should have only the best lighting! The Brother PR1055C Embroidery Machine has a pretty amazing lighting set up so that you can see everything on your machine very well. It has adjustable LED lighting so that you can make sure that you’re getting the right amount of lighting where you need it. Brother knows that everyone has a different lighting situation in their homes and offices, so being able to adjust the lighting provided by the machine itself is absolutely necessary.
Built-in tutorials on the touch screen really set this machine apart from others like it. No more will you need to look up online how to use a certain feature or for troubleshooting help. Now you can look it up directly on the machine!
Speaking of the touch screen, it’s a large 10.1 inch screen that you can move around in order to use it how you need to;
- Edit on-screen embroidery
- Customize your settings
- Select any of the 13 built-in languages
- View clock and watch on-screen video tutorials
- Read built-in help guides to find the ideal settings
- Plus much more!
This screen is truly an asset to any professional embroidery machine like the Brother PR1055X Embroidery Machine.
One of our favourite features of this machine is something you won’t find on too many other embroidery machines out there. This machine is WIFI capable! Ok, but what does that mean? Well, the Brother embroidery machine has an app for your phone or tablet that tracks the machine as it works! You don’t have to sit and babysit the machine as it sews! You’ll get warnings and updates about the machine as it runs so that your work isn’t messed up if something happens while you’re in a different room or working on something else. That’s truly an asset when you’re running a business and have a lot to work on at one time!
Now, let’s talk about what’s programmed into the machine. You’ll find that the Brother 1055X has 1184 built-in embroidery designs, including 37 fonts and monograms, 20 different quilting motifs, and 5 2-colour quilting sash designs.
And as with most embroidery machines, it comes with the ability to expand with the USB port. You’ll be able to quickly transfer any designs from your computer to the machine with ease! If you’re also a quilter, you’ll love the applique function on this machine, too!
You’ll be able to quickly finish any project with this machine, too! It can embroidery at speeds anywhere from 400 stitches per minute to 1,000 stitches per minute! If you have a large order from one client, you’ll be able to churn them out very quickly!
