Brother Entrepreneur PR680W

If you have your sights set on developing a small home embroidery business, the easy-to-use Brother Entrepreneur W PR680W 6-needle embroidery machine will help you achieve your ambitions.

This impressive machine has 6 individually customisable needles and industrial level acceleration; it can produce up to 1000 stitches per minute within just seven seconds, so you’ll get through those orders in no time, with minimal noise.

Give yourself space to create on the generous 200 x 300 mm work area and easily work on the large 10.1'' built-in high-definition LCD display. Easily adjust your design by rotating in 0.1-degree, 1-degree, 10-degree, or 90-degree increments.  

There’s a perfect pattern for every perfect order with the 673 built-in embroidery designs (including monogram and buttonhole styles) and 50 built-in lettering fonts. Stitch out the built-in designs as they are, or express your creativity with the design editing features.  

Customise fonts by adjusting the spacing, colour shuffling, or changing the thread density to improve the look of stitching. Add an instant pattern outline with the appliqué feature and reduce editing time with colour grouping.

Save time and mistakes with the built-in stitch simulator, automatic colour stitch sequence, basting stitch outline feature and smart stitch management. The PR680W will also automatically resume the embroidery design at the exact stitch when the machine either stopped or lost power.  

With the largest crosshair pointer on the market, you can see exactly where your needles will drop, ensuring perfect pattern placement every time. Easily position jobs faster and more accurately. Nine points can be set: centre, four corners and four middles.

Brother have upgraded the upper thread tension dials and expanded the thread tension range to give you ultimate control in fine tension settings. You’ll see less puckering on lighter fabrics like satin and organza.

As your business expands, you can customise your business workflow with the new key optimisation and shortcut keys. Added administrator and operator locks adds a new level of security and safety.

With wireless connectivity you stay in control wherever you are. Keep track of your embroidery with the My Stitch Monitor app from your mobile device.
