Brother PR680W Embroidery Machine Review
So, you’ve really taken to machine embroidery and you’re ready to take it to the next level?
Start a business embroidering for others on any number of surfaces? Or you’re looking to add another machine to your current arsenal or want to replace your older not-quite-up-to-date embroidery machine.
Then we think you’re going to want to take a closer look at the Brother PR680W Embroidery Machine. This embroidery machine is slightly smaller than other professional embroidery models without compromising on too many features. In fact, it has many features that other machines may not have!
Where the size of the machine affects your sewing experience is in how many needles or threads can be running at one time. The Brother PR680W features 6 needles- that means you can have as many as 6 different thread colours running at one time. Most professional embroidery machines feature either 4 needles or 10 needles, so this machine is perfectly in between other sizes. You'd be in good company too, as this is the best selling semi commercial of models amongst Brother embroidery machines.
You won’t be hurting on the maximum size of your embroidery field. That means you’ll be able to stitch out large designs because you’ll have a maximum area of 300x200mm available to use!
The Brother PR680W comes with 673 designs already programmed in. That includes 50 different alphabets for all of your monogramming needs. You’ll have access to different designs that include seasonal and holiday designs, florals, and so much more.
If the 673 designs aren’t enough for you, or you’re creating your own custom designs for your clients or family, you can certainly load them onto this machine a couple of different ways! This machine has a USB port where you can transfer your designs directly from your computer to your machine. And it’s Wi-Fi capable! That means you can drop designs right to the machine from your tablet using a special app. You’ll also be able to track the machine’s progress from a different room and easily edit your designs as needed.
This machine comes with 4 different hoops to get you started. All of these hoops are well suited for many different projects, from small delicate work around a shirt collar or you’re working on a large jacket back and anything in between! But you don’t have to stop there with the hoops that are included. You can easily add specialised hoops to your order, too! If you’re planning on embroidering hats and caps, you may consider purchasing a cap frame. Or you can add a cylinder frame for those hard to load pieces, like shirt cuffs.
