Raising the bar on technological advancements in home embroidery machines, Brother Intl. Corp., Bridgewater, N.J., has introduced the new Entrepreneur Pro PR-1000, a 10-needle home embroidery machine that was designed for enthusiasts, hobbyists, crafters and home entrepreneurs.

The company has combined some of the most popular features of two high-end machines — the single-needle Quattro 6000D and the 6-needle Entrepreneur PR-650 — with enhanced technology to develop this new machine.

The new machine can produce multicolor, precise embroidery designs more quickly since it has the ability to stitch 10 colors. Thus, the user doesn’t have to stop as often to change thread colors. For example, a 50,000-stitch design on the PR-1000 can be completed more than 10 minutes faster than on a typical 6-needle machine, according to the company.

Another first on this model is the built-in InnovEye Technology that shows a bird’s eye view of the needle area — it’s like having a built-in camera above the needle with an Up-Close Viewer for accuracy.

Additional features include several full-spectrum LED lights built in above the work area; an extra-large work table; intelligent color selection and threading using the InnovaChrome LED Color Thread System; an embroidery software upgrade called PE-DESIGN NEXT that can link up to four Brother Entrepreneur Pro PR-1000 or upgraded Entrepreneur PR-650 machines to one computer via USB cable; five built-in tutorials; more than 100 built-in embroidery designs and 28 built-in lettering fonts; and more.

The machine was launched Aug. 16 and can be viewed in a 3-D format using any red/blue anaglyph glasses when watching the video at brother-usa.com/Homesewing/NextDimension. Or, visit your local authorized Brother dealer to pick up a free pair of 3-D glasses while supplies last. — M.D.
