Questions people ask
PR1055X or PR680WC? Ten needles versus six. If your designs routinely exceed six colours, or you want your house colours permanently loaded across jobs, the PR1055X removes a daily bottleneck. Otherwise the PR680WC is a significant saving.
Is there a bundle? Yes — the PR1055X with stand and cap frame is listed on this store at a saving over buying the pieces individually.
What ongoing costs should I expect? Thread, bobbins, needles, stabiliser, backing, and scheduled servicing through a Brother-authorised partner.
