Introduction
The Brother PR1050X is a high-end consumer and professional entry level embroidery machine.
In Switzerland, list price is 12'000 CHF, in Germany 11'000 Euros. Street prices can be less and even lesser for education.
I ordered such a model and by fall 2017 there should be more information in this page - Daniel K. Schneider (talk) 09:02, 4 July 2017 (CEST)
