“Incredible machine for my embroidery business. The 10 needles save so much time on multi-colour designs.”

Brother PR1060W Product Review & Demonstration
The Brother PR1060W Entrepreneur Pro W sits at the top of Brother's multi-needle embroidery range, built for creators and embroidery business owners who need reliable, high-volume output without sacrificing stitch quality. Ten individually adjustable needles mean fewer thread changes between colours, which speeds up production on multi-colour designs and keeps your workflow moving. The 8" x 14" (200 x 360mm) embroidery area handles large-scale projects like jacket backs, home decor panels and team uniforms in a single hooping, while four included frame sizes (from 40 x 60mm to 200 x 360mm) give you the range to work on everything from socks and baby clothes to oversized garments.
The built-in camera system is one of the PR1060W's most practical features. It scans the full embroidery area and displays a live preview on the 10.1" HD touchscreen, so you can position designs with precision before committing a single stitch. This is particularly useful for aligning logos on caps, centering monograms on shirts or connecting multi-hoop border designs. Automatic colour change, automatic needle threading and automatic thread trimming reduce hands-on time between colour sections, which means less downtime and cleaner stitch-outs.
The PR1060W includes workflow tools that support team operation. Security Lock Modes let you set administrator and operator access levels, the Key Optimisation System limits which functions each user can access, and the Shortcut Key jumps directly to the embroidery screen from any point in the menu. The Matrix Copy function replicates designs across the hoop with automatic colour sorting, which is ideal for producing multiple patches or badges in one run. Wireless LAN connectivity lets you send designs from a computer or phone, and with optional PE-Design 11 software, you can link up to 10 machines wirelessly for scaled production.
My Design Center gives you on-screen design tools without needing a PC, while the Artspira app extends your library on the go. My Stitch Monitor sends real-time alerts for thread changes and project completion, and 33 built-in HD tutorial videos accessible via QR code support every level of user, from first-time multi-needle owners to established embroidery businesses.

Materials and Build Quality
The PR1060W is a free arm embroidery machine engineered for sustained, high-volume use. Ten needles sit on individually adjustable tension dials, each of which can be set for different thread types and speeds. The expanded thread tension range on this model gives you finer control when working with difficult fabrics like satin, organza or heavyweight canvas, which means less puckering and more consistent stitch quality across a range of materials.
The automatic needle threading system handles all 10 needles at the press of a button, and upper and lower thread trimmers cut thread automatically at the end of each colour section. For business users running repeat orders, this reduces hands-on time and keeps production moving without manual intervention.
The PR1060W reaches its top speed of 1,000 stitches per minute, thanks to Brother's industrial acceleration technology. Variable speed control lets you reduce stitching to 400 spm for detailed work, cap embroidery or when using speciality threads like metallics. The machine runs with low noise at all speeds, which is important for home studio environments where you may be working for extended periods.
Auto-resume technology means the PR1060W picks up at the exact stitch if the machine stops or loses power, so you never lose progress on a design. The auto-density adjustment feature automatically recalculates stitch count when you resize a design (from 60% to 200% of the original), which maintains stitch quality without manual editing.
Brother's built-in InnovEye Plus camera system scans the entire embroidery area and displays a real-time image on the touchscreen. You can overlay your design on the actual fabric, rotate and reposition it visually and confirm placement before stitching begins. This is particularly useful for aligning designs on pre-printed garments, centering monograms and connecting multi-hoop embroidery.
The stitch simulator previews how your pattern will stitch out before you start, which helps catch potential issues early and reduces wasted materials on test runs.
The Difference is in the Details
The PR1060W reaches 1,000 stitches per minute in seven seconds with industrial acceleration, which means faster project completion with less vibration and noise. Ten needles with automatic colour change and automatic thread trimming eliminate manual intervention between colour sections. The Matrix Copy function replicates a design across the hoop with automatic colour sorting, so you can produce multiple patches, badges or repeat motifs in a single run. The Colour Sort function minimises thread changes when combining multiple designs, and the Shortcut Key lets you jump straight to the embroidery screen to save time on repeat jobs.
The PR1060W is engineered for sustained daily use with a heavy-duty frame and precision-balanced components. Brother backs this machine with a 1-year commercial warranty (parts and labour).
Our in-house team provides expert advice and support whenever you need it, backed by Brother's UK network of authorised service centres for warranty repairs and servicing. Brother's My Stitch Monitor app sends real-time notifications for thread changes and project completion, so you can manage your time and step away from the machine with confidence. Chat with one of our machine experts online or contact us via our help centre.
The PR1060W includes 33 built-in HD tutorial videos covering everything from initial setup to editing and design functions, all accessible on your phone or tablet by scanning the on-screen QR code. My Design Center is built into the machine for on-screen design creation without a PC. Our YouTube channel and website also offer helpful tutorials and tips for getting the most from your machine.
The 10.1" IPS LCD touchscreen displays designs in clear, high-resolution colour with zoom up to 200%. On-screen editing includes rotation in 0.1-degree increments, colour shuffling with Random, Gradient, Vivid and Soft options, and full text input with 50 built-in fonts. The expanded thread tension range gives finer control on lighter fabrics, reducing puckering and distortion. The easy-access bobbin design lets you change bobbins without removing the frame in most cases, which saves time during longer production runs.
Brother PR1060W: A Machine for Every Maker
And every project
10-Needle Speed with Industrial Acceleration
Ten individually adjustable needles let you stitch designs with up to 10 colours without stopping to change thread, which means faster turnaround on multi-colour logos, monograms and detailed artwork. The PR1060W reaches its top speed of 1,000 stitches per minute and runs with minimal noise, so you can complete large orders quickly without disrupting your workspace.
Built-In Camera for Precise Design Placement
The InnovEye Plus camera system scans your fabric in real time and displays it on the 10.1" HD touchscreen, so you can overlay, rotate and position your design before stitching begins. Combined with the Snowman Embroidery Positioning Marker, you can connect multi-hoop designs with nine alignment options for borders, quilt blocks and repeat patterns. To convert scanned images into embroidery data, the optional Scan Frame Kit is required (sold separately).
Wireless Connectivity and App Integration
Send designs from your computer or phone via wireless LAN, and monitor progress remotely with Brother's My Stitch Monitor app. The Artspira app gives you access to additional designs and lets you draw your own patterns on a mobile device. With optional PE-Design 11 software, you can link up to 10 PR1060W machines wirelessly for scaled production runs.
Inside the Brother PR1060W
My Design Center On-Screen Software
Brother's built-in My Design Center lets you create original embroidery designs directly on the touchscreen without a PC. Draw freehand, combine shapes from the built-in library (60 closed shapes, 30 open shapes and 5 line options) and apply stippling or decorative fill patterns from 26 built-in options. To scan line-art or illustrations and convert them to embroidery data, the optional Scan Frame Kit is required (sold separately). The embroidery preview mode lets you see the selected pattern before you begin to stitch.
Extensive Built-In Design Library
The PR1060W comes loaded with over 1,000 built-in embroidery designs, including 50 lettering fonts, 3 monogram styles with 15 frames, 14 types of extra-large embroidery letters and a 3D puff font for raised lettering on caps and accessories. On-screen text editing supports multiple lines with left, centre and right alignment, and you can change the font style, size and positioning of individual letters. Colour shuffling lets you try new colour schemes with Random, Gradient, Vivid and Soft options before committing to a design.
Matrix Copy and Batch Production Tools
The Matrix Copy function replicates a design across the hoop with automatic colour sorting for fewer thread changes per run. The Colour Sort function further reduces changeovers when combining multiple designs. Single colour conversion lets you quickly switch a multi-colour design to one thread colour, saving time on tonal or single-shade work.
Automatic Thread Management
The automatic needle threader handles all 10 needles at the push of a button. Upper and lower thread trimmers cut thread automatically at the end of each colour section, and the jump stitch trimming feature cleans up excess thread between stitch groups for a cleaner finish. Upper and lower thread sensors alert you when thread breaks or runs low, so you never ruin a design mid-stitch.
Quiltbroidery: Creative Quilting Embroidery
The PR1060W includes Quiltbroidery features for quilters who want to combine embroidery with quilting. Auto Split Quilting Sashes create sashing and border patterns sized for your quilt (up to 118" x 118" / 3,000 x 3,000mm), with patterns split automatically for your selected hoop. Twenty built-in motifs are available, including five two-colour quilting sash designs for colourful borders. The optional Hoopnetic Magnetic Sash Frame lets you hoop and embroider thick materials without fabric shifting or rehooping.

The PR1060W comes with four frames: extra-large (200 x 360mm), large (130 x 180mm), medium (100 x 100mm) and small (40 x 60mm), plus a tubular frame table for embroidering sleeves, trouser legs and other hard-to-hoop items. Optional frames include a cap frame, magnetic frames, jumbo frame (360 x 360mm) and cylinder frame.
Do I need a computer to create designs?
No. My Design Center is built into the machine and lets you draw, scan and digitise designs directly on the 10.1" touchscreen. You can also transfer designs wirelessly from a phone or tablet using the Artspira app, or from a PC via USB or wireless LAN.
What software is compatible with the PR1060W?
The PR1060W works with Brother's Artspira app and My Stitch Monitor app (both free), Design Database Transfer (free, Windows only) and optional paid software including PE-Design 11 and Brother/Wilcom BE EmbroideryStudio with CorelDRAW integration.
Is this machine suitable for cap embroidery?
The PR1060W supports cap embroidery with an optional cap frame (available separately). The variable speed control lets you reduce stitching speed to 400 spm for caps, and the built-in camera system works with the cap frame for precise positioning.
Our standard width fabric can be cut as a Fat Quarter, measuring 50cm x 1/2 the width of the bolt. Above is an example of how your fabric will be received, depending on the quantity ordered.
We also offer a sample service, where you can order 1 single fat quarter of any standard width fabric, to have at home and compare colours. When you are finished, you can send them back to us for a refund (feel free to contact us for more information on this service).
Our fabric can be cut as a Long Quarter, measuring a minimum of 25cm x width of bolt. We will supply the fabric as a continuous length (eg; if you bought 1.25m it will be sent as one piece of fabric).
