Do ZSK industrial machines support large embroidery fields?

The Brother PR Series is a range of professional multi-needle embroidery machines designed for small businesses, start-ups, and home-based creators. These machines offer commercial-quality results in a compact, easy-to-use format — ideal for producing personalised garments, uniforms, and accessories.

The Brother PR Series is ideal for new start-ups, small business owners, and home-based embroidery enterprises. They provide professional performance without the large space or industrial setup requirements, making them perfect for creative entrepreneurs.

Unlike standard home embroidery machines, the Brother PR Series features multiple needles, allowing several thread colours to be loaded at once. This means multi-colour designs can be stitched without manual thread changes. They also offer larger embroidery areas, faster stitching speeds, and a durable build for commercial use — all while remaining compact and user-friendly.

Yes. The Brother PR Series is designed for ease of use. With intuitive touchscreen controls, built-in tutorials, and straightforward setup, even beginners can confidently start embroidering from day one. The interface guides you through each step, making it suitable for both newcomers and experienced users.

Brother PR Series machines can embroider a wide range of products, including:

• T-shirts, polos, and hoodies
• Caps and bags (with optional frames)
• Towels and linens
• Home décor and personalised gifts

The machines support various frame types, allowing flexibility for both flat and tubular items.

Yes. Each machine in the Brother PR Series includes a selection of built-in embroidery patterns, monograms, and fonts. These are ideal for quick projects or learning the basics. You can also import your own custom designs using a USB drive or wireless transfer.

Not necessarily. You can work with a professional digitiser who will convert your logo or image into an embroidery-ready file for you. If you prefer to create or modify your own designs, you can purchase digitising software that’s compatible with the Brother PR Series. Stocks can advise on suitable software options.

Brother PR Series machines typically read .PES and .DST embroidery file formats.

• .PES is preferred for the Brother PR Series, as all elements of the design are readable by the machine, such as colours and needle changes.
• .DST is a common universal embroidery file format; however, elements such as colour sorting are not readable on the Brother PR Series, therefore manual colour sorting is required once the design is loaded into the machine.

.PES and .DST are widely supported by embroidery software and digitising services, so you can easily import designs created elsewhere.

Brother PR Series machines feature built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to transfer designs directly from your computer, tablet, or mobile device without using a USB drive. Some compatible apps and software also allow remote monitoring and design management for added convenience.

The Brother PR Series delivers commercial-level stitching speeds, reaching up to around 1,000 stitches per minute depending on the design and material. This enables efficient production, even for home-based or small business operations.

Brother PR Series machines provide a generous embroidery area, suitable for both small and large projects:

• 6-needle models - max. embroidery area 300mm (W) x 200mm (D)
• 10-needle models - max. embroidery area 360mm (W) x 200mm (D)

A wide range of optional accessories is available to increase versatility, including:

• Cap frames for embroidering hats and caps
• Cylinder frames for sleeves, cuffs, and pockets
• Magnetic or clamp frames for thick materials
• Flat tables and border frames for bulky or large items

As your business grows, these accessories allow you to take on a wider variety of embroidery jobs.

Routine maintenance is simple and important for consistent performance. Tasks include cleaning away lint, oiling moving parts as recommended, and changing needles regularly.

Our engineers will show you basic maintenance during installation and training. Also, the machine provides on-screen maintenance reminders, and we offer servicing, parts, and support to keep your machine in top condition.

The Brother PR Series is compact enough for most home studios or small workspaces.

You’ll need a sturdy table or the Brother Machine Stand (PRNSTD), space for frames and accessories, and good lighting is recommended.

A Brother PR machine plus Brother machine stand will fit in a 1m x 1m footprint.

It’s an ideal choice for those who want commercial performance without needing a large workshop.

Yes — many successful embroidery businesses start this way. The Brother PR Series is reliable, efficient, and versatile, making it perfect for producing personalised clothing, uniforms, and custom gifts directly from a home studio.
